Calls were growing Monday to invoke the 25th Amendment after President Donald Trump threatened to continue his campaign to seize Greenland because he didn’t receive Nobel Peace Prize.
Reports surfaced of a letter Trump sent to Norway’s prime minister that included an open threat that his administration would continue to pursue acquiring Greenland, a goal that the president suggested was motivated, in part, by not receiving the famed international prize last year.
On social media, users responded to the letter and Trump’s most recent actions.
