Dim seeks to stop Trump from the “invasion” of Greenland, Canada and Panama
Democrats in the House of Representatives launched an effort to ban President Donald Trump from one side to “invade or seize lands” from Greenland, Canada and Panama.
This measure, known as the invading allies law, is prevented, and it is decided by Representative Seth.
The magazines said that Trump’s “reckless” speech on obtaining lands from the three countries makes the president not trustworthy with the powers of the war granted to him.
“Americans do not support sending unnecessary wars, especially with US allies who do not pose any threat to our country,” a magazine said in a statement on Monday. “Unfortunately, President Trump rejected the removal of taking the lands of other countries by force. Under the constitution, the Congress, not the president, who has the authority to declare war. It is time for Congress to restore that constitutional authority and make sure that the president is committed to the will of the American people.”

While the US constitution is going through that Congress has the authority to agree to declare a war of war, Congress announced an official war in 1942, and modern presidents entered conflicts without obtaining explicit or official approval in Congress, according to the National Constitution Center.
Moreover, the 1973 war authorization of the executive branch to notify Congress within 48 hours of military action and forces forces requires to remain involved for more than 60 days without the approval of Congress. However, the legislation does not specify “hostilities”, and previous departments have confirmed that their actions that participate in the military forces were not qualified as the ability to do so, and therefore, the approval of Congress was not required, according to the project on government control.
Among the other Democratic lawmakers who participated in this procedure is the representatives of Eric Swelewell from California and Priadla Javal from Washington. The legislation was referred to both the foreign affairs committees and the armed council.
Trump discussed obtaining Greenland, Canada and Panama for several months – and he regularly pointed to Canada as the 51st country in the United States. In addition, Trump confirmed in a joint speech on Congress on Tuesday that the United States will restore the Panama channel for security reasons and gain Greenland.
“I have a message tonight for the amazing people in Greenland,” Trump said. “We strongly support your right to determine your own future, and if you choose, we welcome you in the United States of America.”
Trump discussed the possibility of expanding American territory for several months and said in a post in December 2024 on the social truth that “the United States of America feels the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.”

Meanwhile, leaders of Greenland, an area in Denmark, pushed Panama to Trump’s comments to Congress.
“We do not want to be the Americans, nor the Danish, we are like Eleet (Greenlands),” Prime Minister MúTE EGEDE said in a Facebook post translated by Reuters. “The Americans and their leader must understand it.”

“I refuse, on behalf of Panama and all the Banamia, this new insult to the truth and our dignity as a state,” President Jose Raul Mulino said on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Republicans have suspected whether Trump would have already launched a military struggle against countries such as Greenland. For example, Senator James Lanford, R-OKla, said in an interview with NBC in January that the United States would not “invade another country.”
“Frankly, the president was very clear,” said Lanford. “He is the president who kept the American forces out of war. He does not look forward to being able to start the war and expand the American forces, but he wants to be able to protect US national security, and part of that is our economic security and our future.”
