US Representative Introduces Bill to Make Greenland 51st State

US Representative Randy Fine, a Republican, introduced a bill authorizing President Donald Trump to pursue the acquisition of Greenland and its conversion into the 51st state of the US. Fine argues that US sovereignty would benefit the people of Greenland and strengthen US national security in the Arctic, countering the growing influence of China and Russia in the region. He believes Greenland is a vital asset for controlling Arctic shipping routes and protecting American interests. This bill is part of a broader effort to restore American power in the Arctic.
