Congress would affirm respect for Greenland's sovereignty and its own power over military force.
This bill would formally state that Congress believes the U.S. government respects Greenland's right to self-determination and Denmark's sovereignty. It would also clarify that Congress must approve any changes to Greenland's status or any use of U.S. military force there. This aims to reassure allies like Denmark and Greenland after recent statements suggested the U.S. might try to acquire Greenland.
Today, the U.S. and Denmark, including Greenland, have a strong partnership, but recent statements from some U.S. officials have raised questions about Greenland's future. If this bill passes, Congress would formally state that the U.S. respects Greenland's sovereignty and that any major changes or military actions involving Greenland must be approved by Congress, reinforcing a cooperative approach with allies.
