AI Summary
This concurrent resolution urges the United States Congress and President to pursue diplomatic efforts to peacefully annex Greenland as a U.S. territory, highlighting several key motivations for this proposal. The resolution emphasizes Greenland's strategic importance in the Arctic region, its vast untapped natural resources like rare earth minerals and oil, and its potential geopolitical value for U.S. interests. It also notes the existing relationship between the U.S. and Greenland, including the Thule Air Base, and suggests that becoming a U.S. territory could provide Greenlandic people with improved democratic governance, infrastructure, and access to educational, economic, and health opportunities. The resolution specifically calls on the U.S. Department of State to engage in dialogue with Greenland and Denmark to explore voluntary integration, ensuring the rights and interests of Greenlandic people are fully respected. Additionally, it directs the Secretary of State to forward the resolution to key federal and state leadership for consideration and potential support, demonstrating a formal legislative effort to initiate the diplomatic process of territorial expansion.
