US Senate wants to stop Trump's arbitrariness
According to journalists, the bill prohibits the US Department of Defense and the State Department from using funds allocated by Congress to "blockade, occupy, annex, conduct military operations, or otherwise establish control" over the territory of a NATO member state.
This is an initiative of Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen, the head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Republican Lisa Murkowski.

As is known, the head of the White House has made it clear that he plans to establish control over Greenland and, allegedly, he does not care how the authorities and population of the island feel about this plan.
The foreign ministers of Denmark and Greenland plan to meet with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President J.D. Vance in Washington on Wednesday, while a bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers is set to visit Denmark later this week to meet with senior Danish and Greenlandic officials.
