Dem senator introduces bill to stop Trump from invading 'another country on a whim' over Greenland

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., introduced legislation aimed at blocking President Donald Trump from invading Greenland on Tuesday. Gallego announced the legislative push on X, saying Congress must stop Trump "before he invades another country on a whim." The bill is one of several Democrat-backed efforts seeking to stop Trump from taking military action against other countries following the capture of now former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
