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.
