Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) is passing on some advice straight from Taylor Swift’s playlist —“You need to calm down.”
The Pennsylvania lawmaker didn’t use those exact words when talking about President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to acquire Greenland, but the intent was the same when he and Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) appeared on Fox News Tuesday night.
“There’s a lot of talk about Greenland, for example, and … there’s a lot of freak-outs and of course, I would never support taking it by force,” Fetterman said, per The Hill.
He continued by saying it’s “responsible conversation“ and likening this transition with the Louisiana Purchase.
“If anyone thinks that’s bonkers, it’s like, well, remember the Louisiana Purchase?” Fetterman said. “I think Alaska was a pretty great deal, too.”
The United States purchased land west of the Mississippi from the French in 1803. Alaska was purchased in 1867 from the Russian Empire.
