I’m writing as a deeply concerned constituent urging Congress to step in immediately to prevent further damage to U.S. alliances, our economy, and the Constitution itself. Using tariffs as political coercion against NATO allies—particularly to pursue territorial ambitions—is reckless and unacceptable. These actions invite economic self-harm at home, undermine long-standing alliances, and risk escalation that Congress has neither authorized nor approved. The American people do not support wars against our allies, nor do we support paying higher prices to serve one man’s ego. Congress must clearly reassert its constitutional authority over trade, appropriations, and the use of military force. I strongly urge you to: • Support the Gallego War Powers Resolution prohibiting any military action related to Greenland without explicit congressional authorization • Pass appropriations language barring the use of taxpayer funds for military force against Greenland • Block tariffs imposed for political coercion rather than legitimate economic necessity • Conduct robust oversight hearings on executive overreach in trade and foreign policy I appreciate the work you have already done to defend democratic norms and uphold the Constitution. This moment requires firm, visible action to make clear that Congress—not the executive alone—decides when America goes to war and how it engages with its allies. Please continue to act decisively to prevent further escalation and lasting harm. Thank you for your leadership and for representing us in this critical moment.
