Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act Introduced in US Congress
Washington: Florida Republican Congressman Randy Fine introduced a new bill in the US House of Representatives on Tuesday, proposing to make Greenland the 51st US state. The bill, called the "Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act," would legally allow the US government to annex Greenland and make it a US state in the future.
Randy Fine described this move as necessary to counter the growing influence of China and Russia in the Arctic. He said that Greenland's geography is crucial to US security because it is located in the Arctic and can control vital routes for global trade, military activities, and energy transportation.
"America cannot leave that future in the hands of countries that oppose our value system and are attempting to undermine our security," Fine said.

If passed, the bill would authorize the US President to take "whatever steps necessary" to make Greenland a US territory. The bill also directs the President to submit a full report to Congress on the reforms necessary to make Greenland a US territory.
Greenland is a Danish territory and holds immense strategic importance for US security and security. President Trump has previously stated that Greenland is "essential to US defense and national security" and that the US should acquire it.
However, the bill's proposal has sparked international opposition and increased geopolitical tensions. Many experts have warned that such a move could complicate relations with Denmark and other countries.
