Several US Senators are traveling to Denmark in the coming week, where they will meet with representatives of the Norwegian Foreign Affairs Council.
The senators themselves have contacted the chairman of the committee, Christian Friis Bach (V). He confirms this to TV 2.
It is not clear when in the week the visit will take place, but according to TV 2's information it will take place on Friday.
The visit takes place at a time when US President Donald Trump has reiterated his desire for American ownership of Greenland, which is part of the Commonwealth of Nations together with Denmark and the Faroe Islands.
Recently, Trump stated that the US "needs Greenland for the sake of the national security situation".
TV 2 writes that the media has not been able to confirm what the agenda for the meeting is.
At the meeting, Greenlandic politicians Aki-Matilda Høegh-Dam from the Naleraq party and Aaja Chemnitz from Inuit Ataqatigiit plan to participate. They state this to TV 2. Both are members of the Foreign Affairs Council.
In addition, Chemnitz writes on Sunday evening in a Facebook post that the senators must also meet with the Greenland Committee.
She also writes that the senators' visit is the result of a meeting she had with Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski earlier this week.
The upcoming meetings are not the only ones Denmark and Greenland are expected to have with the United States over the next few days.
The US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, has announced that he will meet with Denmark and Greenland in the coming week.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen (S) confirmed at a party leader's debate that next week there will be a foreign minister meeting between Lars Løkke Rasmussen (M) and Marco Rubio.
On Sunday evening, it is still unknown where, when and how the meeting will take place.
Both from the Greenlandic and Danish sides, there have been several times strongly critical reactions to Trump's wish.
On Friday, all five parties in Greenland's parliament, Inatsisartut, issued a joint statement in which it was again stated that they do not want to be part of the United States.
At Sunday's party leader debate, the prime minister said that "we are at a crossroads and it is a fateful moment".
- If you turn your back on Nato cooperation by threatening an ally - something you have not experienced before - everything stops. And I mean it, said Mette Frederiksen.
