The GOP Senator Standing Up to Trump's Colonial Madness
Briefly

Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska stands firmly against President Trump's attempts to acquire Greenland, stating unequivocally that "Greenland is not for sale." This strong statement came in collaboration with Greenlandic parliamentarian Aaja Chemnitz, emphasizing that the Greenland government has addressed the matter. Murkowski, known for her independent stance within the Republican party, has grown critical of Trump's leadership, showcasing her dissent on various issues, including high-profile nominations and presidential actions, positioning herself as a unique voice against Trump's aggressive policies.
"Greenland is not for sale," declared Murkowski and Greenlandic parliamentarian Aaja Chemnitz after consulting this week. "The question has been asked and firmly answered by the government of Greenland, Naalakkersuisut."
Murkowski's intervention matters because it is coming not just from global leaders or members of the media, but from a senior Republican senator, even if that senator's influence may have been diminished by the fact that she is one of the few independent thinkers left in Trump's GOP.
