Lawmakers urge Congress to curb Trump’s Greenland gambit to safeguard NATO unity

Senators Lisa Murkowski and Jeanne Shaheen urge Congress to act quickly to block President Trump from unilateral actions against NATO allies, proposing the bipartisan NATO Unity Protection Act to prevent using taxpayer funds to seize or otherwise assert control over a NATO ally’s territory without that ally’s consent or NATO approval. The appeal, prompted by Trump’s Greenland focus and Davos remarks, argues that allied unity is essential amid Russian and Chinese threats and that Congress must defend NATO commitments rather than allow destabilizing unilateral moves.
