Legislation drafted and presented to Congress has bolstered President Donald Trump’s ambition to purchase Greenland.
Less than a month ago on January 20, the Republicans took back the White House, putting the Trump administration’s expansionist agenda in full view.
The 78-year-old has indicated ambitions to retake the Panama Canal, called for Canada to become the 51st state of America, formally renamed the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America,” and expressed intended to “take over” Gaza and force out all Palestinians.
His desire to buy Greenland is already well known; he even had a heated phone conversation with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, which apparently drove officials into crisis gear.
Greenland, of course, has been a part of the Danish Kingdom since it was first settled in the 18th century. However, until 1953, when it was reclassified as a Danish district, it was solely considered a colony.
So, what’s the most recent development?
Well, it has come through Georgia’s Republican congressman Buddy Carter, who last week sponsored legislation allowing Trump to discuss the prospect of absorbing Greenland and Denmark’s autonomous territory.
On January 7, weeks after his father proposed that Washington acquire the independent Danish region, an aircraft allegedly carrying Donald Trump Jr. lands in Nuuk, Greenland
“With the addition of Red, White, and Blueland, America is back and will soon be bigger than ever,” Carter said in a statement.
It is true that Trump intends to rename Greenland “Red, White, and Blueland.” I don’t know how the locals would react to the new name.
When our Negotiator-in-Chief signs this historic agreement, he added, “President Trump has rightly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority, and we will proudly welcome its people to join the freest nation ever.”
The committee has been tasked with reviewing Carter’s proposed legislation.
It said, “To give the President the authority to negotiate the purchase of Greenland and to refer to it as ‘Red, White, and Blueland.'”
Trump has said that the 57,000 people who live on the largest island in the world want to join the United States.
In a direct statement to reporters last month, he reiterated, “I think we’re going to have it.”
“I believe the public wants to join us.
“I don’t really know what claim Denmark has to it, but, since it’s for the protection of the free world, it would be a very unfriendly act if they didn’t let that happen.”
He went on: “Greenland is something we’ll get because it has to do with global freedom.
Because we are the ones who can grant freedom, it has nothing to do with the United States. They’re unable to.
