US senators introduce bill to stop Trump seizing Greenland
AI Summary
In January 2026, US Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Lisa Murkowski introduced the bipartisan NATO Unity Protection Act to prevent President Donald Trump from seizing territory belonging to NATO member states. The bill specifically prohibits the Department of Defense and State Department from using funds to blockade, occupy, annex, or assert control over any NATO member's territory. This legislation was prompted by concerns over Trump's repeated assertions that the US should take control of Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, potentially by force. The senators emphasized that the bill aims to protect NATO unity and prevent the use of US resources against allies, reinforcing America's commitment to the alliance and national security interests. They also stated that the bill sends a clear message that rhetoric around Greenland undermines America’s own national security interests.
