Statement summary
In a post on X, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said she is “encouraged that our nations have reached a breakthrough that respects Greenlandic self-determination and the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Denmark while strengthening our shared security in the Arctic.” She said she is “hopeful that this agreement will build upon the longstanding framework established by the 1951 Defense of Greenland Agreement” and believes it “represents an important opportunity to further strengthen our bond.” The post links to an Associated Press report on the agreement.
“I’m encouraged that our nations have reached a breakthrough that respects Greenlandic self-determination and the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Denmark while strengthening our shared security in the Arctic. I’m hopeful that this agreement will build upon the longstanding framework established by the 1951 Defense of Greenland Agreement, adapting our cooperation to address today’s security challenges while preserving the foundation that has supported our partnership. I have always had faith in the enduring friendship between the United States, Greenland, and Denmark, and I believe this agreement represents an important opportunity to further strengthen our bond.”
Murkowski's own post on her X account (@lisamurkowski), which murkowski.senate.gov links to. The post is timestamped 15:45:35 UTC and shows no edits. The post links to the Associated Press report headlined "Trump has a deal to build US military presence in Greenland while leaving island in Denmark's hands." We did not save an archive copy of the post.
Murkowski welcomes the agreement as a “breakthrough” and “an important opportunity,” but describes it as one that respects Greenlandic self-determination and Danish sovereignty and hopes it will build on the framework of the 1951 Defense of Greenland Agreement. She neither mentions nor disputes Trump’s description, and her welcome is expressed as encouragement and hope rather than as endorsement of the terms Trump describes. The closest competing label is “Defended or excused”, because she welcomes the deal; it loses because her framing is sovereignty and continuity with the 1951 framework rather than the description Trump gives. “Challenged the characterization” also loses, because she does not dispute that description.
