Alaska GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski is absolutely and unequivocally refusing to go along with Trump’s increasingly aggressive maneuvering to make Greenland a part of the US. In fact, she has joined one of Greenland’s most prominent political figures in bluntly pushing back against Trump's scheming to buy—or, perhaps, simply claim—the island that is home to 57,000 people. “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.” That was a stark response to what critics have identified as the president’s “Napoleonic tendencies” and “Dreams of a New American Empire.”
