Four members of the U.S. House of Representatives have introduced legislation that would prohibit the use of federal funds for the invasion of NATO allies and territories. The legislation does not name specific countries but appears aimed at preventing President Donald Trump from carrying out his threat to seize Greenland, reported Stars & Stripes.
Rep. Bill Keating (D-MA) is leading the legislation alongside fellow Democrats Steny Hoyer, of Maryland, and Brendan Boyle, of Pennsylvania. Rep. Don Bacon, of Nebraska, a former Air Force officer, who is not running for re-election, is the only Republican co-sponsor of the bill. “This should be unnecessary, but I’ve sponsored this bill because the Administration keeps threatening Greenland & Denmark,” Bacon wrote on X on Jan. 13. “I served in NATO and served with many Europeans in Iraq & Afghanistan. The Admin is wrong to treat our Allies so poorly & foolishly.”
