A Republican member of Congress is going on the record criticizing President Donald Trump about his threats to seize Greenland from Denmark, in the latest sign of the move's unpopularity.
Rep. Don Bacon, a Republican representing Nebraska, told the Omaha World-Herald on Jan. 14 that Trump's approach to Greenland is "utter buffoonery."
He also told the paper a U.S. invasion of the Arctic island is a "disastrous idea" that could lead to Trump's impeachment. "There's so many Republicans mad about this," Bacon told the newspaper. "If he went through with the threats, I think it would be the end of his presidency."
When asked if he would support a hypothetical impeachment of Trump over Greenland, Bacon refused to give a yes or no answer but said, "I would lean that way."
