House Republicans Propose Greenland Acquisition Bill

President-elect Donald Trump's Republican allies in the U.S. House have introduced the 'Make Greenland Great Again Act,' which would authorize negotiations for the acquisition of Greenland from Denmark. Led by Rep. Andy Ogles, the bill has garnered support from 10 co-sponsors and aims to empower Trump to initiate talks immediately after his inauguration on January 20, 2025. The legislation mandates that any agreement with Denmark must be presented to Congress within five days. Greenland's Prime Minister, Mute Egede, has firmly stated that the territory is not for sale, emphasizing that its future should be determined by its people. The proposal has drawn attention as part of a broader Republican effort to solidify Trump's foreign policy ambitions and address perceived national security interests. Additionally, Trump's son has recently visited Greenland, signaling ongoing interest in the territory's acquisition.
