GOP congressman predicts what could ‘end’ Trump’s presidency
Key Points:
- Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) strongly criticized President Trump's interest in acquiring Greenland, calling it "utter buffoonery" and warning that an invasion could lead to bipartisan impeachment efforts.
- Bacon stated that if Trump pursued invading Greenland, it would likely end his presidency, emphasizing that Republicans would not tolerate such an action and need to be firm in opposition.
- Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, a NATO founding member, and attempts to seize it by force could jeopardize the alliance, a concern echoed by Bacon and other officials.
- Trump argues that owning Greenland is crucial for U.S. national security to deter Russia and China, and has called for NATO to assist in acquiring the territory, despite opposition from European allies
