Republicans begin to push back against Donald Trump's pursuit of Greenland
Party may vote to block any military action as it seeks to defuse growing rift with allies over the Arctic territory
There's plenty more in the linked article and a number of similar articles out there.Donald Trump’s increasingly aggressive campaign to take control of Greenland has attracted sharp rebukes from Republican lawmakers, raising the possibility that Congress will try to rein in the president’s territorial ambitions. At least one Republican lawmaker has publicly suggested that if Trump were to use military force to seize the Danish territory, it would be an impeachable offence — and spell the end of his presidency.
Several others have said they expect a war powers resolution, which would prevent the president from deploying troops to Greenland without congressional approval, to garner the backing of the majority of lawmakers in the coming weeks. But the chorus of criticism from within the party over Greenland is one of the first major signals that a growing number of Republicans are willing to push back on what they see as presidential over-reach.
North Carolina Republican senator Thom Tillis on Tuesday said he was trying to “de-escalate” the situation with Greenland. “I am not critical of the president. I am critical of the bad advice he is getting on Greenland,” Tillis told CNBC, adding that “kinetic action or sort of increase in military presence” would trigger a war powers resolution supported by the majority of Senate Republicans. “I think we could easily get veto-proof majorities,” Tillis added, suggesting at least two-thirds of the 100-member Senate would sign on.
Kentucky Republican senator Rand Paul echoed his comments, telling NBC News at the weekend he had heard of “no Republican support” for a military invasion of Greenland, adding: “Even the most hawkish members of our caucus have said they won’t support that.”
