House Democrats launched efforts to block President Donald Trump from using military force to occupy Canada, Greenland and Panama as he continues to make claims related to taking over the territories.

The bill, formally called H.R. 1936, was introduced by Rep.

It was co-sponsored by eight Democrats.
