(Photo: AFP)COPENHAGEN - A bipartisan US Congress delegation began a visit to Copenhagen on Friday to voice support for Denmark and Greenland after US President Donald Trump threatened to take over the Arctic island, an autonomous Danish territory. The two-day visit comes alongside a European show of support in the form of a military reconnaissance mission to Greenland. The US president has pursued that argument, despite strategically located Greenland — as part of Denmark — being covered by NATO’s security umbrella. Large demonstrations are planned across Denmark and Greenland on Saturday to protest against Trump’s territorial ambitions.
