A Bill on the Annexation of Greenland Introduced in the U.S. Congress

There is a possibility that Greenland may become a U.S. state in the future.



Randy Fine, a Republican from Florida and member of the U.S. House of Representatives, has initiated a bill proposing the annexation of Greenland by the United States. This information was announced in his official statement, as reported by TASS.

If the bill is passed, the U.S. president will gain the authority to "take necessary steps, including negotiating with the Kingdom of Denmark, with the aim of annexing Greenland or joining it to the U.S. in other ways." As a result, Greenland could be recognized as a U.S. state.

Fine emphasizes that the goal of this bill is to "protect U.S. national interests in the Arctic region and counter the growing threats from China and Russia."

It is worth noting that President Donald Trump has previously expressed the need to annex Greenland to the U.S. During his first term, he even proposed purchasing the island, and in March 2025, he mentioned the possibility of its annexation, threatening Denmark with trade tariffs if they refused. However, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen rejected these demands, stating that Greenland is part of the kingdom.

Greenland retains the status of an autonomous territory within Denmark. In 1951, the U.S. and Denmark signed a Treaty for the Defense of Greenland, which further solidifies allied commitments within NATO. According to this agreement, the United States is obligated to defend the island from potential aggression.
