Actor Viggo Mortensen made a notable appearance at a press conference in Nuuk, Greenland, where he was present as an audience member during discussions involving four U.S. senators. Mortensen, who has been vocal against U.S. interest in Greenland, notably criticized the idea of allowing the U.S. control over even a small part of the territory. Throughout the conference, he refrained from commenting on his presence, despite inquiries from the media.

Mortensen's stance against U.S. expansion into Greenland stems from his belief that Denmark, Greenland, and Europe should not yield any part of Greenland to the United States. This criticism was evident in a debate article he wrote earlier in the year, where he emphasized the importance of Greenland's autonomy and the need for regional powers to defend it against foreign takeover attempts.

The actor, who has Danish roots, seems to be deeply invested in the political narrative surrounding Greenland's status and its relationship with the United States. His attendance at the conference coincided with his apparent stay in Greenland, where he was spotted earlier with Jens-Frederik Nielsen, Greenland's Prime Minister. Mortensen's involvement elevates the ongoing discussions about international interests in Greenland and the implications of such engagements for its future governance.
