🚨 In a move to revive President Donald Trump’s vision of expanding American territory, a House Republican has introduced a bill to enable the U.S. to purchase Greenland and rename it to “Red, White, and Blueland.”
📌 Key Details of the Bill:
- Sponsored by Rep. Earl “Buddy” Carter (R-Ga.), the “Red, White, and Blueland Act of 2025” would authorize President Trump to negotiate the purchase of Greenland.
- The bill also mandates that all official U.S. government documents and maps refer to Greenland by its new patriotic name.
- The proposal aligns with Trump’s broader vision for American expansionism, including plans to re-purchase the Panama Canal and rename the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America.”
Why Greenland?
🌍 Strategic Importance: Trump has long argued that Greenland is a crucial geopolitical asset, given its proximity to the Arctic and vast natural resources.
💎 Economic Potential: Greenland is rich in rare earth minerals, oil, and gas, making it a valuable acquisition for the United States.
🏛 National Security: GOP lawmakers claim the purchase would strengthen U.S. security interests by preventing China and Russia from gaining further influence in the Arctic region.
💬 What They’re Saying:
- Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.): “America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland.”
- Trump Allies: “President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority.”
- Greenland & Denmark Officials: “Greenland is not for sale. This is a ridiculous idea.”
Controversy and Opposition
🚨 Pushback from Greenland & Denmark:
- Officials in Greenland and Denmark have dismissed the proposal, calling it absurd and legally impossible.
- Denmark’s Foreign Minister: “Greenland is not for sale, and it never will be.”
- Greenland’s Prime Minister: “We are not interested in being part of the United States.”
🚨 Criticism from Democrats:
- Some Democrats argue that the move is “imperialistic” and “a waste of time”, claiming that the U.S. should focus on domestic issues instead.
- Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT): “If Republicans think buying Greenland is a priority, they clearly have their priorities mixed up.”
🔥 But Trump supporters see this as another win for ‘America First.’
What’s Next?
🔹 The bill is expected to face strong opposition in Congress, but Trump’s loyalist base is rallying behind it. 🔹 If passed, it could spark diplomatic tensions with Denmark and set a precedent for future U.S. territorial expansion. 🔹 The legislation is part of a broader GOP push to reshape America’s global influence under Trump’s second administration.
