Trump Greenland NATO Unity Protection Act: Congress Moves to Block Annexation
US Senators introduce the bipartisan Trump Greenland NATO Unity Protection Act to prevent the annexation of Danish territory as diplomatic tensions reach a breaking point.
They're shaking hands, but the fists are clenched. US senators just dropped a bipartisan bombshell to stop President Donald Trump from seizing Greenland. As Trump's rhetoric escalates into threats of force, Congress is drawing a hard line in the Arctic snow to protect the NATO alliance.
The Trump Greenland NATO Unity Protection Act
On January 13, 2026, Democrat Jeanne Shaheen and Republican Lisa Murkowski introduced the 'NATO Unity Protection Act.' This legislation specifically bars the Department of Defense and State Department from using any funds to "blockade, occupy, annex, or otherwise assert control" over the territory of any NATO member state.
The mere notion that America would use our vast resources against our allies is deeply troubling and must be wholly rejected by Congress in statute.
A Firm 'No' from Copenhagen and Nuuk
Trump has brushed aside concerns about splitting the alliance, claiming that control over Greenland is a national security priority to prevent China or Russia from gaining a foothold. However, the local sentiment is overwhelmingly against him.
- Public Opposition: Recent polling shows 85% of Greenland's 57,000 residents oppose US control.
- Unified Front: Greenland's PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen stated clearly, "We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU."
