Bill Summary

Affirming the partnership between the United States and Denmark and Greenland.

AI Summary

This resolution, passed by the House of Representatives with the Senate concurring, affirms the enduring partnership between the United States, Denmark, and Greenland, emphasizing shared democratic values and collective security, particularly in the Arctic and North Atlantic regions where the U.S. has a long-standing defense presence in Greenland. It explicitly rejects any suggestion of acquiring Greenland, even through military force, stating that such actions would violate treaty obligations and require Congressional authorization, as the Constitution grants Congress the sole authority to declare war or authorize military force. The resolution calls for continued cooperation through partnership and alliance-based engagement, asserting that the Arctic is most secure when the U.S. leads through collaboration rather than coercion, and reaffirms respect for Denmark's sovereignty over Greenland.
