Congress must IMMEDIATELY STOP Trump’s threats to take Greenland!

To: Sen. Cantwell, Sen. Murray, Rep. Jayapal

From: A constituent in Seattle, WA

January 21

The ever escalating news of Trumps threats to take Greenland (because Norway didn’t give him the Nobel Peace Prize?!) gives me the feeling that our country is being run by a LITERAL madman! It’s like a bad fairy tale—with horrific real life consequences. His wild threats now include economic coercion, alliance pressure, and refusal to rule out the use of force. His claims are incoherent, demonstrably false and profoundly dangerous. Congress cannot dismiss this as bluster. The Constitution assigns Congress authority over war, trade, and appropriations precisely to prevent reckless or personal decision-making from dragging the nation into conflict. Allowing a president to threaten a NATO ally with force or economic punishment based on personal grievance places the United States on a path toward isolation, instability, and long-term loss of credibility. Congress must intervene IMMEDIATELY by: 1. Publicly repudiating any attempt to seize or coerce control over Greenland. 2. Passing legislation or a War Powers resolution prohibiting the use of U.S. forces against Denmark or Greenland without explicit congressional authorization. 3. Blocking funding for any military, intelligence, or economic action intended to pressure Denmark or Greenland. 4. Holding immediate oversight hearings on the President’s conduct, decision-making, and fitness with respect to foreign policy and national security. Silence now would constitute acquiescence. Congress is the last constitutional guardrail. It must act. NOW!!
