Bill Summary

A BILL To authorize the President to seek to enter into negotiations with the Kingdom of Denmark to secure the acquisition of Greenland by the United States.

AI Summary

This bill authorizes the President, starting January 20, 2025, to negotiate with the Kingdom of Denmark to acquire Greenland as a potential new territory of the United States. If negotiations are successful, the President must transmit the full agreement and all related materials to key congressional committees within 5 calendar days of reaching an agreement. Congress will then have a 60-day review period to examine the proposed acquisition. If Congress does not pass a joint resolution disapproving the agreement within those 60 days, the agreement will automatically take full legal effect. The bill specifically identifies the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as the "appropriate congressional committees" responsible for reviewing such an agreement. The bill's playful title, "Make Greenland Great Again Act," appears to be a political reference to a previous public discussion about potentially purchasing Greenland, which was first raised during the Trump administration in 2019.
