President Donald Trump’s dream of acquiring Greenland just may be one step closer to becoming reality.
A Fox News report noted that Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., is working to help bring Greenland into the American dream. Fine is introducing a bill Monday that would help the president “to take such steps as may be necessary” so that Greenland could become part of the United States.
Fine told Fox, “I think it is in the world’s interest for the United States to exert sovereignty over Greenland.” He also stated that “Congress would still have to choose to make it a state, but this would simply authorize the president to do what he’s doing and say the Congress stands behind him.”
The bill, which is known as the “Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act” reads:
The President is authorized to take such steps as may be necessary, including by seeking to enter into negotiations with the Kingdom of Denmark, to annex or otherwise acquire Greenland as a territory of the United States. Upon completion of such annexation or acquisition, the President shall submit to Congress a report consisting of such changes to Federal law as the President may determine necessary to admit the newly acquired territory as a State, in order to expedite congressional approval of such statehood for Greenland after the adoption of a constitution that Congress determines to be republican in form and in conformity with the Constitution of the United States.

In a recent interview with the New York Times, President Trump discussed his desire to acquire Greenland, saying he wants to do so “properly,” and that ownership of the land “gives you things and elements that you can’t get from just signing a document that you can have a base.”
Now we will have to see whether Congress shares the president’s dream for Greenland.
