House Republicans introduce bill authorizing Trump to acquire Greenland under new name

(WSAW) - U.S. House Republicans have introduced a new bill to authorize President Trump to enter negotiations to acquire and rename Greenland.

H.R. 1161, introduced on Monday by Rep. Earl “Buddy” Carter (GA-01), would allow the President to rename the country of Greenland as, “Red, White, and Blueland.”

The bill has been referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on Natural Resources.

Trump has been pushing for plans to acquire the country for weeks. All while hinting at acquiring the Panama Canal and even Canada, calling it the “51st State” in several instances on social media.

As the AI Summit meeting among world leaders took place on Monday, European leaders have been keeping an eye on the President’s threats of tariffs, taking over Greenland, and pushing Palestinians out of Gaza once fighting officially ceases in the region.

There are currently no co-sponsors of H.R. 1161, so it’s too early to tell how far the bill will pass through the legislative process.
