Donald Trump, the current President of the United States, has been openly discussing his interest in acquiring the autonomous territory of Greenland for quite some time now. In fact, a Republican Congressman recently introduced a bill that would give Trump the authority to enter into negotiations to purchase Greenland and rename it as 'Red, White and Blueland', representing the colors of the American flag.
Representative Buddy Carter, a Republican from Georgia, stated that the addition of Greenland would make America stronger than ever and that President Trump has identified this purchase as a national security priority. He also expressed his excitement about welcoming the people of Greenland to the "freest nation to ever exist" once the negotiations are finalized.
The bill, known as the Red, White, and Blueland Act of 2025, directs the Secretary of the Interior to ensure that the name of Greenland is changed in all federal documents and maps within 180 days. This means that any reference to Greenland in US laws, regulations, or records will be deemed as 'Red, White, and Blueland'. However, the bill still needs to be studied by a committee and then voted on in both the House and Senate before it can become a law.
Despite the efforts of Rep. Carter and others, the Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, has repeatedly stated that Greenland is not for sale. However, this has not deterred Trump, who firmly believes that the acquisition of Greenland would greatly benefit US national security. He has also mentioned the potential for accessing natural resources as the ice continues to melt in that region.
Trump's interest in Greenland dates back to January of this year, where he expressed his belief that the people of Greenland want to be under the United States' jurisdiction. However, the island has been under Danish rule since the 19th century and has a population of approximately 57,000. Trump has even mentioned the possibility of using military force to take control of Greenland, but for now, the decision lies in the hands of the Danish government.
