Key Highlights
- Randy Fine, R-Fla., is set to introduce a bill aimed at authorizing Trump “to take such steps as may be necessary” to acquire Greenland and set it on the pathway of becoming part of the United States.
- “I think it is in the world’s interest for the United States to exert sovereignty over Greenland,” Fine told Fox News Digital in an interview.
- “Congress would still have to choose to make it a state, but this would simply authorize the president to do what he’s doing and say the Congress stands behind him.
- And then it would expedite it into becoming a state, but it would still be up to Congress about whether to do that.” Leavitt said in her Monday briefing: “I think the president was very clear last night.
- He said that he wants to see the United States acquire Greenland because he feels if we do not then it will eventually be acquired or even perhaps hostilely taken over by either China or Russia, which is not a good thing for the United States or for Europe or for Greenland as well.” “Let’s not forget, it would not just be in the best interest of the United States but perhaps it would be in the best interest of Greenland as well to be a part of the United States and protected by the United States,” she continued.
