Senators Kaine and Paul Explore War Powers Resolution to Restrict Military Action on Greenland

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) announced he would soon file a war powers resolution on Greenland, following a broader push after Trump's Venezuela military operation. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) stated he heard "zero support" among Senate Republicans for using military force to seize Greenland. Kaine vowed to force war powers votes on multiple Trump foreign policy threats including Colombia, Mexico, Cuba, Iran, Nigeria, and Greenland.
