After legislation was drafted and presented to Congress, President Donald Trump’s ambition to purchase Greenland gained momentum.
The expansionist objective of the Trump administration has been evident since the Republicans took over the White House less than a month ago on January 20.
The 78-year-old has declared his intention to “take over” Gaza and force all Palestinians to leave, declared plans to retake the Panama Canal, and called for Canada to become the 51st state of America. He has also formally renamed the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.”
We already know that he wants to buy Greenland, and he even had a heated phone conversation with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen that apparently drove officials into crisis mode.
Naturally, Greenland has been a part of the Danish Kingdom since its colonization in the 18th century. However, it was not considered more than a colony until 1953, when it was reclassified as a Danish district.
What is the most recent upgrade, then?
It has come from Georgia’s Republican congressman Buddy Carter, who last week submitted legislation allowing Trump to negotiate with Denmark and Greenland about the idea of absorbing the autonomous nation.
Weeks after his father proposed that Washington acquire the independent Danish region, an aircraft allegedly carrying Donald Trump Jr. lands in Nuuk, Greenland on January 7
“America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland,” Carter said in a statement.
Indeed, Trump intends to change Greenland’s name to “Red, White, and Blueland.” I’m not sure how the name change would be received by the locals.
He went on: “When our Negotiator-in-Chief signs this historic agreement, we will proudly welcome its people to join the freest nation in history. President Trump has rightly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority.”
The committee has been tasked with reviewing Carter’s measure.
It stated that the President was given permission to negotiate the purchase of Greenland and to rename it “Red, White, and Blueland.”
Trump has said in the past that the 57,000 people who live on the largest island in the world want to join the US.
He doubled down with some direct statements when he spoke to reporters last month: “I think we’re going to have it.”
“I believe that people want to join us.
It would be a very unfriendly act if they didn’t let it happen since it’s for the preservation of the free world, but I’m not really sure what claim Denmark has to it.
“I think we’ll get Greenland because it has to do with world freedom,” he added.
“Aside from the fact that we are the ones who can grant freedom, it has nothing to do with the United States. They are unable to.
