Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) launched a bizarre line of questioning during Tuesday morning’s Armed Forces Committee hearing, suggesting that she believed Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth — a decorated Army veteran — was ready to mount up and use military force to take over Greenland on day one.

Hirono referenced recent claims by President-elect Donald Trump about the strategic value of Greenland—currently controlled by Denmark—and whether or not he would move to put it under the United States’ control. Her interpretation of the president-elect’s remarks and similar comments about control of the Panama Canal appeared to be that Trump was ready to send in the troops immediately.
