US troops would need Denmark's invitation to be sent to Greenland.
This bill would mean the U.S. could only send troops to Greenland if Denmark specifically asks. It would also stop government money from paying for deployments there without that specific invitation. This would limit the U.S. President's power to send troops to Greenland on their own.
Currently, the President of the United States can decide to send U.S. military members to Greenland without needing a direct invitation from the Kingdom of Denmark, and government money can pay for these deployments. If this bill passes, the President would need a specific invitation from the Kingdom of Denmark to send any U.S. troops to Greenland, and no government money could be used for deployments without that invitation.
