Washington, D.C. – Rep. Dina Titus (D-Nev.) introduced a Resolution of Inquiry in the U.S. House of Representatives demanding that the Trump administration turn over all documents and communications related to its threatened takeover of Greenland, including any plans involving the possible use of military force against the Danish territory.
According to a press release from Rep. Titus’s office, the resolution seeks records from the President and the Secretary of State concerning any administration analyses, assessments, planning, or communications related to Denmark’s sovereignty and Greenland’s autonomous governing status.
“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,” Titus said. “Denmark fought with us in Afghanistan, and 44 Danes lost their lives. Is this how we treat our allies?”
Titus warned that any attempt to seize Greenland by force would be unprecedented and could have severe consequences for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
“By levying threats of force against a NATO member, Trump has already broken Article 1 of the North Atlantic Treaty,” she said. “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 congresswoman also raised broader concerns about what she described as a pattern of aggressive rhetoric toward other countries.
“We have heard Trump bluster about invading Mexico, Colombia, and Cuba,” Titus said. “Congress and the American people need to know whether Greenland is a blueprint for other planned Trump conquests.”
