Donald Trump’s former Vice President Mike Pence has joined a growing number of Republicans publicly opposing his administration’s efforts to acquire Greenland.
Pence criticized the president’s aggressive tactics in pursuit of the Danish territory, including threats to seize the Arctic island through military force.
“I have concerns about using what I think is a questionable constitutional authority, imposing unilateral tariffs on NATO allies to achieve this objective, as much as I had concerns about the threat of a military invasion, which apparently is no longer being talked about,” Pence told CNN’s Jake Tapper Sunday.
The former vice president echoed other critics of the administration’s latest threats, warning that Trump’s “current posture” could “fracture” not only the U.S. relationship with Denmark but with all of its NATO allies.
