A Republican senator has publicly criticized comments made by Stephen Miller about Greenland, delivering a rare and blunt rebuke that highlights growing unease within the GOP over the administration’s rhetoric on foreign policy.
Speaking to reporters, the senator expressed frustration with what he described as reckless and unserious remarks, saying the comments risk undermining US credibility with allies. “I’m sick of stupid,” the lawmaker said, signaling a sharp break from the typically unified tone Republicans have taken in defending the administration.
Miller’s comments, which suggested aggressive US intentions toward Greenland, sparked backlash both abroad and at home. European leaders and officials in Denmark and Greenland have already pushed back strongly against any suggestion that the Arctic territory could be claimed or controlled by another country, calling such ideas unacceptable.
The Republican senator warned that provocative language could damage long-standing alliances and complicate cooperation within NATO, particularly at a time when unity is seen as critical to addressing global security challenges. He emphasized that Greenland’s status is not a matter for casual political statements and should be handled through diplomacy and respect for international law.
The criticism reflects broader discomfort among some Republicans, especially those with experience in foreign policy and defense, who worry that confrontational rhetoric may create unnecessary crises. While many GOP lawmakers continue to support a tougher stance abroad, a few have begun voicing concern over how that stance is communicated.
Democrats seized on the comments as evidence of growing divisions within the Republican Party, arguing that the administration’s approach lacks coherence and discipline. The White House, however, defended its position, insisting that discussions about Greenland are rooted in national security interests.
The episode underscores rising tensions within Washington over how far the administration should go in challenging international norms—and how bluntly those challenges should be expressed.
