Bill > HR0234

This resolution, originating from the state of Michigan, urges the Trump-Vance Administration to stop making threats or using coercive language towards the Kingdom of Denmark concerning Greenland. It emphasizes that Greenland is a self-governing territory within Denmark, and any changes to its political status should be decided by its people without outside pressure. The resolution highlights that Denmark is a vital ally of the United States and a founding member of NATO, a military alliance crucial for collective defense and international security, including Michigan's economic and security interests. It argues that threats against an ally weaken NATO and embolden adversaries, and that international law protects the rights of Greenland and Denmark, including the principles of self-determination and territorial integrity. Instead of threats, the resolution calls for diplomacy based on respect for sovereignty, adherence to international law, and solidarity with allies. Copies of this resolution will be sent to various U.S. officials, the Danish Ambassador, the NATO Secretary General, and Michigan's congressional delegation.
