Senior Republicans are warning Trump that any move to invade Greenland would instantly end his presidency.

Donald Trump’s renewed interest in taking control of Greenland has become a subject of pointed dissent among congressional Republicans, with several allies speaking out in recent days against the idea after the president reintensified his interest following the US raid that captured Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro.

Congressional Republicans are typically loath to disagree openly with the president, who has repeatedly called for his party’s dissenters to be voted out of office. But amid polling that shows an overwhelming majority of Americans oppose taking control of the island and warnings from Denmark that an invasion would spell the end of Nato, some congressional Republicans have issued forceful warnings against pursuing the issue.

“The thought of the United States taking the position that we would take Greenland, an independent territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, is absurd,” North Carolina senator Thom Tillis said in a speech on the Senate floor Wednesday.

Nebraska congressman Don Bacon told the Omaha World-Herald: “If he went through with the threats, I think it would be the end of his presidency. And he needs to know: the off-ramp is realizing Republicans aren’t going to tolerate this and he’s going to have to back off. He hates being told no, but in this case, I think Republicans need to be firm.”

Mitch McConnell, the former Senate Republican leader, compared the possibility of the US seizing Greenland to Joe Biden’s 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, which became an unpopular moment in the Democrat’s presidency.

“Following through on this provocation would be more disastrous for the president’s legacy than withdrawing from Afghanistan was for his predecessor,” McConnell said, warning that it would amount to “incinerating the hard-won trust of loyal allies in exchange for no meaningful change in US access to the Arctic”.

"Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad"

Trump is just stupid. Greenland is already protected by NATO. The United States has a base in Greenland. And the rest of NATO are already protecting Greenland.

China and Russia have no bases in or near Greenland. There are no credible threats that Russia or China want to take Greenland.

And if they did, the US and most of Europe would come quickly to Greenland's defense.

Greenland is protected by NATO. If Russia or China tried to invade them, they will be at war with NATO.

I think things will recede from this point, Trump has made his point, negotiations will commence. Neo international diplomacy.

Very correct and a firm warning. This dude is power drunk and his absurdity is becoming viciously inordinate.

I don't even understand his obsession with Greenland
He can easily sit and have an agreement with them on minerals and security instead of this embarrassing episode he's putting his country through
I hope his party doesn't suffer for this in the midterms
This is why it's bad for a leader to be surrounded by sycophants

Well, at least some persons are waking up to their responsibilities. Maybe some good will come out of this afterall

We are watching the movie from Nigeria

Guy, I totally agree with you. But you are wrong in this aspect. NATO can't match only Russia let alone Russia and China. Do you know Russia is fighting NATO presently inside Ukraine? NATO are WEAK

Trump should know his boundaries.
He is gradually becoming an Emperor.
I hope it doesn't get to a point where some of his European Allie's will turn their back on him.

Finish the work you have started in Sokoto state Nigeria.
Bello Turji have taken over Isah Local Government in Sokoto state, farmers are still paying tax to him.
The last bomb 💣 did not neutralized him.

The PDFile is extremely DELUSIONAL.

He's saying Denmark CANNOT protect Greenland from China or Russia.
Meanwhile, Denmark is part of NATO.

Neither Russia NOR China would risk a war with NATO over Greenland.

That would be MADNESS!

The idea that he's trying to ANNEX Greenland in order to protect it from China is a RIDICULOUS lie that he's PEDDLING to his DMUB followers.

Plus, the US Military already has a BASE there.
And both Denmark, Greenland and the rest of the WEAK EU have invited them to situate as MANY troops as they want in Greenland.

The PDFile just wants to STEAL the resources of Greenland like he's doing to Venezuela.

Currently, Greenland has STRONG environmental protection policies that prevent WANTON and INORDINATE mining of resources in a way that'd HURT the environment.

If it becomes a US Territory, all those policies would become MOOT.

All that being said, I HOPE the PDFile INVADES Greenland.
The WEAK EU Leaders who PRAISED him for doing the same thing to Venezuela should get a TASTE of what they were praising.

He already back down..he knew the consequences

The signs were there.

But Americans decided to vote for Trump because they don't want a woman to be president.

Trump is like a kid playing with a time bomb.

Why publish a private message you had with world leaders?

America should enjoy him like that till his tenure is over.

As my people used to say , " if shigidi (.molden image) wants to be disgraced, it will beg to be taken to the river for a bath".

Let him invade Greenland

See colonialism on repeat.

Pootle:

It does.
And it's very comprehensive from his statement.

Paperweight Republicans, you mean? Trump is bigger than the entire Republican Party and they know it.

Trump is only bullying his way to a better deal on Greenland resources.

I don't think he can survive another impeachment attempt if there's any this time
