Liberal Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), who faces a Democratic primary challenger this year, is calling for President Trump to be removed from power under the 25th Amendment after Trump acknowledged he would be less likely to pressure Denmark to give up Greenland had he won the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.
“Invoke the 25th Amendment,” Markey posted on social media along with an image of a New York Times article reporting Trump linked his push for Greenland to not winning the Nobel Prize in a text message to Norwegian leader Jonas Gahr Støre.
The Times reported that Støre received a text message from Trump on Sunday informing him bluntly that not winning the Peace Price has emboldened him to make an aggressive play for Greenland, which is a territory of Denmark.
