Had a very constructive trip to Denmark, Iceland, and Greenland. Together with our partners, we'll work to achieve shared goals like combating the climate crisis, maintaining a peaceful Arctic region, and deepening economic cooperation.
Very pleased to wrap-up a successful @ArcticCouncil Ministerial! Congratulations to our Icelandic hosts on their excellent leadership and important work done during their Chairmanship.
Great visit today in beautiful Kangerlussuaq with @Naalakkersuisut Premier Múte Bourup Egede. I’m grateful for the strong partnership between the United States and Greenland and I look forward to deepening our cooperation.

Stopped to thank @NSF, New York @USNationalGuard, and Greenlandic health authorities for ensuring the continued operations of Summit Station - a vital climate change research hub - throughout the pandemic. These efforts are critical to our climate action.
