Sens. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) are the two Republicans on the visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tillis said military intervention to take over the country \u201cwould be met with pretty substantial opposition in Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRight now, people are trying to be deferential, but this is just an example of, whoever keeps on telling the president that this idea is achievable should not be in Washington, D.C.,\u201d he said prior to the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump said Saturday he would levy 10 percent tariffs on Denmark and several other European nations because of their opposition to his plans for Greenland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a Truth Social post announcing this decision, he said this import tax could be increased to 25 percent if a deal for the U.S. to purchase Greenland is not brokered by June 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Danish leaders have lambasted these suggested tariffs, with Danish Chamber of Commerce CEO Brian Mikkelsen saying, \u201cTrump\u2019s farce continues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe American president is once again using tariffs as a threat,\u201d Mikkelsen wrote in a translated post on the social platform X. \u201cAs so many times before, it is damaging to confidence in world trade and damaging to the American and European economies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gingrich also pointed to weaknesses in the European economy as a reason for Trump\u2019s ability to apply pressure in the region, specifically identifying European countries\u2019 decision to shift to a regulatory economic model \u201crather than innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c[The U.S.] made the opposite decision,\u201d Gingrich said. \u201cWe decided we wanted to maximize innovation and then regulate lightly but not have enough regulation to crush what we were doing.
