He ended the post by saying, “And yes, we expect full respect for the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark.” Miller did not directly respond to Sørensen’s post.

Miller did not acknowledge his wife’s post, even after Tapper brought it up again during Miller’s answer.
On Jan. 6, Katie Miller referenced the Trump administration’s desire to annex Greenland on X again (archived) by quoting a Trump post on the issue from his first administration.
