A group of 11 bipartisan congressional lawmakers touched down in Copenhagen, Denmark this morning to meet with Danish and Greenlandic leaders. “Greenland needs to be viewed as our ally, not as an asset,” said Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski.

Traders on the prediction platform Polymarket pin low odds to the scenario, assigning a 20% chance that the U.S. acquires a part of Greenland this year. The odds of Trump acquiring Greenland by 2027 sit at 17%.
