A local Illinois Congressman is making his stance clear on a United States takeover of Greenland.
Rep. Eric Sorensen (D-Illinois), who serves on the armed services committee that oversees funding for the Department of War, says the idea of a U.S. takeover would send the U.S. down a dangerous road.
While in Davos, Switzerland, at the World Economic Forum, President Donald Trump announced a framework for a future deal with Greenland. Trump administration officials say the U.S. needs Greenland for international security.
Soreensen’s congressional district includes the eastern portion of Mercer County.
