WASHINGTON—Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and diplomats from several other countries in the Arctic Council voiced opposition on Thursday to President Donald Trump’s statements about Greenland.

“I am not one who believes that threatening another country is a good diplomatic tool,” said Murkowski, whose Arctic state borders Canada and Russia.
