Republicans are turning up the rhetoric against Trump's plan to take Greenland [View all]

Senator Thom Tillis, who is retiring in 2026, said that both Republicans and Democrats would revolt if Trump attempted to take Greenland by force, according to Politico.
“If there was any sort of action that looked like the goal was actually landing in Greenland and doing an illegal taking … there’d be sufficient numbers here to pass a war powers resolution and withstand a veto,” Tillis said.
Meanwhile, Congressman Don Bacon predicted such an action — which he called “the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard” — would result in Trump’s impeachment.
The sharp Republican rhetoric follows efforts by lawmakers to reassure officials in Denmark and other European nations that U.S. military action lacks congressional support. This week, lawmakers traveled to Copenhagen to deliver this message in person.
