Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dan Roman.
President Trump is threatening new tariffs on a block of NATO nations in his effort to purchase Greenland.
But some Senate Republicans and Democrats aren't buying the White House's aggressive bid to take over that island.
NPR's Luke Garrett reports.
In a social media post announcing new tariffs, Trump said the U.S.
needs Greenland to protect the island from Russia and China.
But vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Mark Warner, denied this on CBA.
The only security threat to Greenland right now is the United States.
In his effort to take over Greenland, Trump has not taken military seizure off the table.
Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky told NBC the GOP-controlled Congress doesn't back an invasion.
On the war powers are on militarily invading Greenland.
I've heard of no Republican support for that.
When the Senate returns next week,
Paul and Democratic Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia hope to pass a war powers resolution that would limit Trump's ability to invade Greenland.
