US House Republicans Push Bill for Potential Greenland Purchase

WASHINGTON, Jan 13 – Republican lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives are seeking support for a bill to authorize discussions about a potential U.S. purchase of Greenland. A draft of the proposed legislation, titled the "Make Greenland Great Again Act," was circulated on Monday for co-sponsorship.

The bill is spearheaded by Republican Representatives Andy Ogles and Diana Harshbarger, whose offices confirmed its submission. According to Fox News Digital, the draft has already garnered 10 co-sponsors as of Monday morning.

The initiative aligns with former President-elect Donald Trump's interest in acquiring Greenland, a move that previously sparked international debate. The effort underscores ongoing Republican support for the controversial idea, which proponents argue could bolster U.S. strategic interests in the Arctic. However, the proposal is likely to face significant scrutiny and resistance both domestically and abroad.
