House GOP bill to let Trump purchase Greenland

WASHINGTON, – President-elect Donald Trump’s Republican allies in the U.S. House of Representatives are trying to build support for a bill authorizing talks for the purchase of Greenland, according to a copy of the bill circulated for co-sponsors on Monday.

The bill is called “Make Greenland Great Again Act,” the offices of Republican U.S. representatives Andy Ogles, who is leading the bill, and Diana Harshbarger said. The copy of the draft was reported earlier by Fox News Digital and had 10 co-sponsors as of Monday morning.

Trump says he wants to make Greenland a part of the United States and does not rule out using military or economic power to persuade Denmark to hand it over. Republicans won a narrow majority in the House and Senate in the Nov. 5 U.S. elections.
