Axios: Senator Introduces Bill to 'Annex' Greenland to the US

According to a report by Axios, a Republican Congressman has introduced a bill that would allow President Trump to consider annexing Greenland as the 51st state of the United States. The bill, although unlikely to be approved, is being used by some Republicans as a show of support for Trump, who has previously expressed interest in acquiring Greenland. The Congressman argues that control of Greenland would strengthen US strategic interests in the Arctic, but the idea has drawn criticism as Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, a NATO member. This initiative has broader geopolitical implications and has raised concerns about sovereignty and relations within the Alliance.
