GOP Rep. Bacon says he would ‘lean’ toward Trump impeachment if Greenland invaded

Rep. Don Bacon warned bipartisan support for impeachment could emerge if Trump invades Greenland, calling it a catastrophic move against a NATO ally.

  • This week, Representative Don Bacon told the Omaha World-Herald he would `lean that way` toward impeachment if President Donald Trump invaded Greenland, adding, `If he went through with the threats, I think it would be the end of his presidency`.
  • Wednesday, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen and Greenlandic officials met U.S. diplomats in Washington, but fundamental differences remained over President Donald Trump's push to acquire Greenland for national security.
  • On policy, Representative Don Bacon labeled the Greenland plan `utter buffoonery` and a `disastrous idea`, co-sponsoring a House bill to prevent military operations against NATO territories.
  • Republican lawmakers signaled mounting pressure as GOP anger grows, with NATO military personnel from Germany, France, Sweden and Norway heading to Greenland on Thursday and a bipartisan delegation traveling to Copenhagen on Friday.
  • Financial, public-opinion and legislative limits frame the longer-term fallout as purchasing Greenland could cost $700 billion and only 17% of Americans support the effort, while Democrats vow war-powers resolutions in the coming weeks.
