US Republican lawmaker Randy Fine has introduced a bill that would allow US President Donald Trump to take all the actions necessary to annex or acquire Greenland in the name of US security interests.
"Today, Congressman Fine (FL-06) introduced the Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act, landmark legislation focused on securing America’s strategic national security interests in the Arctic and countering the growing threats posed by China and Russia ... The Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act authorizes the President to take whatever steps necessary to annex or acquire Greenland as a territory of the United States," the statement read.
