Congresswoman Dina Titus today introduced a resolution in the House demanding that the Trump administration provide all documents and communications relating to its threatened takeover of Greenland, including any plan to use military force to seize the Danish territory.

“We need to know if there is anything behind President Trump’s saber-rattling – whether there are concrete plans to invade a country that has been one of our strongest NATO allies,” Congresswoman Titus said. “Denmark fought with us in Afghanistan, and 44 Danes lost their lives. Is this how we treat our allies?” 

Congresswoman Titus said the takeover of Greenland would be unprecedented and could mean the end of NATO. 

“By levying threats of force against a NATO member, Trump has already broken Article 1 of the North Atlantic Treaty. If he continues down this path, NATO will be dissolved and the strongest, most effective military alliance in history will crumble because Donald Trump wants to play strongman in the hemisphere.” 

The Resolution of Inquiry introduced by Congresswoman Titus directs the President and Secretary of State to turn over documents, communications, plans, analyses, and assessments by the Administration pertaining to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Denmark and the autonomous governing status of Greenland.

“We have heard Trump bluster about invading Mexico, Colombia, and Cuba,” Congresswoman Titus said. “Congress and the American people need to know whether Greenland is a blueprint for other planned Trump conquests.”
