Greenland conquest "would be disastrous," Sen. Tim Kaine says

Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine said Sunday that he believes there would be bipartisan opposition to the use of American forces as part of an effort to take Greenland.

"I think Congress will stop him, both Democrats and Republicans," the Virginia senator said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan."

President Trump has long signaled he wants an American takeover of the world's largest island, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark. He doubled down on Jan. 9, saying "I would like to make a deal the easy way, but if we don't do it the easy way, we're going to do it the hard way."

Kaine said neither option would be acceptable. He cited Denmark's long history as a NATO ally.
