1835: Greenland Gambit
US Congressional Delegation Visit to Greenland and Logan Act Concerns
Senator Lisa Murkowski and a bipartisan delegation visited Denmark and Greenland to discuss regional security, prompting accusations of Logan Act violations. The 1799 Logan Act prohibits unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments, leading to debates over whether members of Congress are overstepping their constitutional roles. Murkowski stated that the majority of Americans oppose the acquisition of Greenland, viewing it as an ally rather than an asset.
