Ted Lieu, a U.S. Congressman: "If any military personnel, from generals to ordinary soldiers, use force against Greenland without authorization from Congress, they are carrying out an illegal order." There is no legal justification for the United States to militarily occupy Greenland or to attack its NATO allies.
The congressman's statement was seen as a preventive warning against Trump potentially launching a military action on his own, emphasizing the constitutional principles of civilian control of the military and the power of Congress to declare war.
Ted Lieu's statement was evaluated as drawing a "red line" before a disaster, having a warning significance, reiterating that following an illegal order cannot be an excuse for accountability.
This is a clear red line, clearly laid out here, crossing it is illegal and will be punished.
