Republican Congressman Randy Fine has introduced the 'Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act,' a bill proposing to give the US government legal authority to pursue the annexation and eventual statehood of Greenland. Supporters argue the legislation is crucial for countering Chinese and Russian influence in the Arctic and bolstering US national security by controlling key shipping routes. The bill would empower the President to take necessary steps to negotiate or acquire Greenland. The proposal has faced international resistance, with Denmark asserting its sovereignty and stating Greenland cannot be annexed.
