- Republicans introduce the Make Greenland Great Again Act to allow US President to negotiate the purchase of Greenland.
- The bill has 10 co-sponsors and is led by Andy Ogles and Diana Harshbarger.
- Trump has expressed a strong desire to buy Greenland, even considering military or economic pressure if negotiations fail.
Donald Trump’s Greenland acquisition plans have gained traction with the introduction of a new bill in the House of Representatives. The Make Greenland Great Again Act, spearheaded by Republican congress members Andy Ogles and Diana Harshbarger, aims to grant the US President official authority to negotiate with Denmark and Greenland for the territory.
This bill reflects Trump’s continued ambition to make Greenland part of the United States, a goal he has repeatedly discussed. During his previous term, he reportedly asked his advisers how this could be accomplished, and with his return to office, Trump has indicated that he would use economic and military strategies to convince both Denmark and Greenland to entertain the purchase.
Republicans Push for Bill to Empower Trump in Greenland Purchase Talks
The push for Donald Trump to acquire Greenland is becoming a concrete legislative effort with the introduction of the Make Greenland Great Again Act. This bill, introduced in the House of Representatives, is intended to give the President legal authority to enter formal negotiations with Denmark and Greenland. The bill is gaining traction with 10 sponsors and is led by Republicans Andy Ogles and Diana Harshbarger.
Trump has long shown interest in Greenland, both publicly and behind the scenes, even asking his advisers during his first term about how to pursue the purchase. His continued focus on acquiring the territory indicates his serious intentions. The new bill reflects his administration’s determination to pursue this ambition during his next term.
The United States’ interest in Greenland is driven by its strategic value, including its proximity to important shipping routes and natural resources. Trump’s desire to secure Greenland as part of the US could also be motivated by broader geopolitical considerations, particularly in relation to China and Russia’s activities in the Arctic region.
Despite initial resistance from Denmark and Greenland, Trump has made it clear that he is prepared to use economic leverage and military influence if necessary. This signals a more forceful approach to diplomacy, aimed at securing Greenland for the United States, whether through negotiation or pressure tactics.
The push for Trump to acquire Greenland is gaining momentum, with political backing and an assertive approach to negotiations. This move could reshape US strategic positioning in the Arctic region.
“The United States will not hesitate to use military and economic measures to persuade Denmark and Greenland if a buyout option is declined by either of them.” – Donald Trump
