US EditionUS Senators Introduce Bill to Stop Trump Seizing Greenland
The NATO Unity Protection Act aims to prevent U.S. funds from supporting control over NATO territories amid concerns of alliance fracturing, with 85% of Greenland residents opposing U.S. control.
- On Tuesday, senators Jeanne Shaheen and Lisa Murkowski introduced the NATO Unity Protection Act to bar the Department of Defense and Department of State from funding control over NATO territory.
- Responding to persistent presidential rhetoric, the bill targets Trump's repeated insistence on controlling Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, including his Sunday remark, `I'd love to make a deal with them. It's easier,`.
- Polling in Greenland shows overwhelming opposition to US control, with just 6 percent in favour, and Murkowski said the 32-member NATO security alliance is the `strongest line of defence`.
- Diplomatic talks were scheduled in Washington on Wednesday and a congressional delegation was due in Denmark on Friday, with Lars Løkke Rasmussen and Vivian Motzfeldt meeting Marco Rubio and JD Vance, while Denmark's and Greenland's prime ministers issued forceful rebukes defending sovereignty.
- The move aims to shield the alliance and US obligations from unilateral actions, as Shaheen said the bill blocks taxpayer funds for measures fracturing NATO amid Trump’s claims about China or Russia targeting Greenland’s fossil fuels and critical minerals.
