Starts process for Greenland to potentially become a U.S. state
This bill would let the U.S. President begin talks with Denmark to acquire Greenland as a U.S. territory. If acquired, the President would then propose changes to federal law to help Greenland become a U.S. state. This would happen only if Greenland adopts a U.S.-style constitution.
Currently, Greenland is a self-governing territory of Denmark, and the U.S. President does not have the authority to acquire it. This bill would give the President the power to negotiate with Denmark to make Greenland a U.S. territory. The President would then work towards it becoming a U.S. state.
