[White House Official Says Greenland Belonging to Denmark Is Unfair] On January 16, local time, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller stated in an interview with Fox News that Denmark's simultaneous desire for US help in protecting Greenland while emphasizing that Greenland belongs 100% to Denmark is "an unfair deal" for the US. On the same day, a delegation of 11 members of the US Congress from both parties visited Denmark. Republican Senator Murkowski emphasized that Greenland "should be considered an ally of the United States, not an asset." Austrian Chancellor Stokkel also voiced support for Greenland on the 16th, stating that any threatening rhetoric is "unacceptable," and that the US's remarks demonstrate that Europe must be responsible for its own security.
