Скачать или смотреть Greenland Annexation Act

Finally we are going forward with Greenland annexation—at least in terms of formal legislation. In January 2026, Representative Randy Fine introduced the “Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act,” a provocative bill that would authorize the U.S. President to take all “necessary” steps to annex or acquire Greenland, specifically including entering into negotiations with Denmark.
Key Highlights of the Bill:
• Path to Statehood: If the acquisition is successful, the bill requires the President to notify Congress of the legal changes needed to admit Greenland as a U.S. state.
• Requirements for Greenland: To achieve statehood, Greenland would first need to adopt a constitution that Congress deems “republican in form” and consistent with the U.S. Constitution.
• National Security Focus: Representative Fine frames this move as a vital strategic play for national security, citing the importance of controlling Arctic shipping lanes and countering the influence of China and Russia in the region.
Political Reality: While the bill signals a serious desire by some lawmakers to formalize U.S. interests in the Arctic, it is currently viewed by many as highly controversial and unlikely to pass. Despite the low probability of it becoming law, the proposal highlights the growing geopolitical importance of Greenland in modern international relations.
To think of it another way: this bill is like a formal "letter of intent" to buy a house that isn't currently for sale; while the buyer is making their interest official and outlining a plan to renovate, the current owners and the neighborhood may not be ready to sign the papers just yet.
