Can Congress stop Trump from trying to take Greenland?
(Vox) Since the United States announced it would run Venezuela and captured President Nicolás Maduro, the Trump administration has openly floated similar interventions elsewhere in Latin America.
But the country Donald Trump has fixated on most isnt an adversary its an ally. Greenland, a NATO member and longtime partner of the United States has repeatedly found itself in the presidents crosshairs.
These threats, delivered largely through unilateral executive action, have once again raised questions about Congresss role as a check on presidential power. And with Trump in his final term, even some Republicans are showing small but notable signs of concern.

(180 posts)I have always wondered how much of it is through blackmail material. I doubt that Trump has blackmail material on all GOP members of congress, but many might be afraid that he does. I can't think of any other reason why they are so spineless.
