BREAKING: Even Top Republicans Turn on Trump Over Greenland. Republicans — including Murkowski, McConnell, Bacon, and very conservative Louisiana Senator John Kennedy — are now openly and publicly warning Trump against any attempt to invade Greenland. Their aggressive 8-word message is sending shockwaves through Washington, and it could mark a dramatic turning point for Trump’s presidency.
Washington, D.C. — In a striking display of intraparty dissent, several prominent Republicans—including Senators **Lisa Murkowski**, **Mitch McConnell**, **John Kennedy**, and Representative **Don Bacon**—have publicly warned President Donald Trump against any attempt to invade or forcibly acquire Greenland, the semi-autonomous Danish territory.
The rare criticism comes amid escalating tensions over Trump’s renewed push to bring Greenland under U.S. control, which he has framed as a national security priority for Arctic dominance.
While the administration has emphasized a preference for purchase, it has repeatedly refused to rule out military options, prompting alarm among allies and lawmakers.
Senator **Lisa Murkowski** (R-Alaska), a key voice on Arctic policy, stated during a recent bipartisan delegation to Copenhagen that Greenland should be viewed “as our ally, not as an asset.”
She has co-sponsored legislation to prohibit the use of Defense Department funds for any blockade, occupation, or military action against Greenland or other NATO territories without consent.
Former Senate Republican leader **Mitch McConnell** (R-Ky.) delivered a sharp rebuke on the Senate floor, comparing a potential seizure to the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal under the previous administration.
He warned that such a move would be “more disastrous for the president’s legacy” and amount to “incinerating the hard-won trust of loyal allies” with no real gain in U.S. Arctic access.
Adding to the chorus, conservative Louisiana Senator **John Kennedy** bluntly called the idea of invading Greenland “weapons-grade stupid,” stressing that attacking the sovereignty of a fellow NATO country would be catastrophic.
Meanwhile, Nebraska Representative **Don Bacon** described threats against the ally as “the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard” and warned that military action could end Trump’s presidency.
Their aggressive 8-word message—”Don’t invade Greenland”—is sending shockwaves through Washington. The unified GOP pushback, combined with bipartisan efforts including war powers resolutions and funding restrictions, highlights deep concerns over damaging NATO ties, alienating European partners, and handing strategic advantages to adversaries like Russia.
As bipartisan delegations continue outreach to Denmark and Greenland, and with public opinion polls showing overwhelming American opposition to military force, the episode could mark a dramatic turning point, testing the limits of party loyalty in Trump’s second term.
The White House has yet to respond directly to the growing Republican criticism.
