News in Depth Live paints a picture of a U.S. foreign policy under Donald Trump that’s bold, aggressive, and very personal in style — and increasingly out of step with United States Congress. On Venezuela, Trump is shown acting quickly and decisively. The administration frames the removal of Nicolás Maduro not as an act of war, but a law enforcement operation. That framing matters, because it lets Trump bypass Congress and act on his own authority. In short, Trump moves first, Congress reacts later. The fact that the operation seems to have worked – being quick, clean, and effective – strengthens Trump’s hand politically. But when the conversation shifts to Greenland, the contrast becomes much sharper.
Trump talks about Greenland like a strategic real-estate deal: the island is important for security, there are Chinese and Russian interests nearby, and the U.S. should ultimately own it. This style alarms allies – and Congress. Congress, unlike Trump, draws clear red lines. Lawmakers from both parties openly reject any idea of invading Greenland, buying it outright, or threatening a NATO ally. They stress that Greenland isn’t Venezuela. It’s not an enemy state; it’s tied to an ally, and any change to its status would require years of negotiations, referendums, and – crucially – congressional approval.
