GOP Rep. Michael McCaul (Texas) said Sunday that the United States\u2019s invasion of Greenland would mean \u201cwar\u201d with NATO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe fact is, the president has full military access to Greenland to protect us from any threat. So if he wants to purchase Greenland, that\u2019s one thing.\u201d McCaul said during a Sunday appearance on ABC\u2019s \u201cThis Week.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut for him to militarily invade would turn Article 5 of NATO on its very head and, in essence, press a war with NATO itself. It would end up abolishing NATO as we know it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty states an armed attack against one NATO member shall be considered an attack against all members, and triggers an obligation for each member to come to its assistance, according to the alliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Trump\u2019s push to acquire Greenland for \u201cnational security purposes\u201d has been lambasted by lawmakers who have harshly rebuked a military invasion of the selfautonomous territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf we want to put more military in there, we can. We don\u2019t have to invade it. If he wants to buy it, that\u2019s fine. But I don\u2019t see a willing seller right now,\u201d McCaul said Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) called the White House campaign to take over Greenland a \u201cland grab.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is not about security,\u201d Van Hollen said Sunday on ABC\u2019s \u201cThis Week.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDonald Trump wants to get his hands on the minerals and other resources of Greenland, just like the real reason he went into Venezuela had nothing to do with stopping drugs from coming,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Maryland senator urged his Republican colleagues to support the war powers resolution to take action against the president\u2019s foreign military measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday, senators defeated a war powers resolution to block Trump from using military force \u201cwithin or against\u201d Venezuela.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
