The President of the United States is proposing we buy Greenland, conquer Greenland, or simply take over Greenland. The verb changes, but his intent is clear. Equally clear is the fact that Greenland has said NO. This is a war the American people don’t want, aimed at goals that can be easily served by working with Greenlanders and Denmark instead of treating them like enemies. We shouldn’t waste resources that could help make health care and child care affordable. The threats alone are shattering the alliance that helped us win the Cold War. As your constituent, I am asking you to publicly denounce the threat of military action against another NATO state and to reject any push to annex Greenland. I am also urging you to commit to supporting any upcoming war powers resolution to block an invasion. In addition, I urge you to support Senator Ruben Gallego’s amendment to the defense appropriations bill and use the government funding process to prevent our money from being used to attack or purchase Greenland. Thank you.
