Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) has now introduced a resolution to the US Senate to prohibit the use of military force, conduct of hostilities, or preparation for war against or concerning Greenland.
This is done in an amendment to the Senate defense appropriations bill.
The purpose of the proposal is to be realized through adjustments to appropriations for the US Department of Defense, which Trump has renamed the Department of War, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026.
"Trump is trying to distract American citizens"
- Families are being crushed by rising prices for groceries and housing, inflation is rising, and Trump's name is everywhere in the Epstein files, argues Ruben Gallego and continues:
- Instead of doing anything to solve these problems, Trump is trying to distract people by threatening to start wars and invade countries – first in Venezuela, and now against our NATO ally Denmark.
- What is happening in Venezuela shows us that we cannot simply ignore Trump's reckless threats. His dangerous behavior is putting American lives and our global credibility at risk.
- I am introducing this amendment to make it clear that Congress will not fund illegal, unnecessary military actions, and to force Republicans to choose whether they will finally stand up or continue to enable Trump's chaos, Ruben Gallego justifies his proposal.
The proposal is still pending in the US Senate.
