US EditionRepublican introduces bill seeking to make Greenland 51st state
The bill aims to enhance U.S. Arctic security by enabling acquisition and expedited statehood for Greenland, citing concerns over Russian and Chinese influence, Fine said.
- On Monday, Rep. Randy Fine, Republican representing Florida's Sixth Congressional District, introduced the two-page Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act in the U.S. House of Representatives.
- Supporters cite U.S. Arctic security and great-power competition, saying Fine highlights strategic control and economic stakes, warning China and Russia influence motivates urgency as President Donald Trump seeks to claim Greenland.
- The two-page bill would authorize the President to take steps to acquire Greenland, including negotiating with the Kingdom of Denmark, and directs the administration to report to U.S. Congress while expediting statehood approval.
- Security officials caution that the move risks triggering a NATO response under Article 5, while NATO chief Mark Rutte said allies are bolstering Arctic security and discussing protective steps.
- If granted statehood, Greenland would be the least-populated U.S. state with around 57,000 people, and the bill signals Republican loyalty to Trump as Secretary of State Marco Rubio plans to meet Denmark this month.
