US EditionGOP Rep Introduces Bill to Annex Greenland as US State
The Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act would authorize President Trump to acquire Greenland to secure Arctic shipping lanes and counter China and Russia, with Greenland's population under 56,000.
- On Jan. 12, 2026, Rep. Randy Fine, U.S. congressman , introduced the Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act, announcing it on X with a mock-up Trump Tower image.
- The legislation text says the President of the United States, President Donald Trump, may negotiate, purchase, or take Greenland by force and must report to Congress on laws for statehood.
- Citing national-security risks, backers argue Fine's bill aims to prevent Russia and China from controlling the Arctic and to secure key shipping lanes and the U.S. northern flank.
- The Danish ambassador to the U.S., Jesper Moller Sorensen, met Fine to insist Greenland belongs to Denmark, while seven European leaders issued a Jan. 6 statement saying `Greenland belongs to its people`.
- Critics quickly pushed back, saying given Randy Fine's extreme lack of military experience, he is absolutely the last person to introduce this bill, while Aaron Baker cited constitutional doubts and Greenland's population is just under 56,000.
