Sen. Ruben Gallego introduced an amendment to the annual defense spending bill that would prohibit the use of federal funds for any U.S. military action against Greenland, following renewed statements from President Donald Trump about seeking control of the territory and recent international backlash from Danish and Greenlandic leaders.
- The amendment would bar Pentagon funding for military operations targeting Greenland.
- Gallego said the measure is intended to prevent unauthorized or unlawful military action.
- The proposal follows Trump’s public comments describing Greenland as critical to U.S. national security.
- Denmark and Greenland officials reiterated that the island is not for sale and that the U.S. has no legal basis to annex it.
- The White House has not publicly responded to the amendment.
