After President Donald Trump’s decision to use military force to bend Venezuela to his will, some senators are now wondering: Is Greenland next?
Trump has coveted the autonomous Danish territory since his first term, evolving from musing about buying the island to more recent threats of a military invasion.
Lawmakers had largely brushed off the Greenland talk as unserious bluster. But on the heels of Trump’s bombing of Caracas and capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro over the weekend — and Trump subsequently restating his interest in Greenland — senators, particularly Democrats, said Tuesday they are concerned Trump will indeed attempt to seize the island.
