A bipartisan group of U.S. senators has introduced the NATO Unity Protection Act to prevent President Donald Trump from using funds to occupy, annex, or control Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark and NATO ally, after Trump reiterated his interest in acquiring it for “national security.” The legislation, led by Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen and Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski, would bar the Defense and State departments from spending on such actions, aiming to uphold NATO commitments and discourage any aggressive move. Denmark and Greenland firmly reject U.S. control, and European allies express concern about potential damage to transatlantic unity. (PC: X)
