Rep. Ogles Introduces Bill to ‘Make Greenland Great Again'
WASHINGTON, DC – On Monday, Congressman Andy Ogles (TN-05) led several of his Republican House colleagues in introducing the Make Greenland Great Again Act, which would direct Congress to support President Trump’s negotiations with Denmark to acquire Greenland immediately. The United States’ ownership of the Danish territory would allow for the advancement of American economic interests and national security priorities.
“The acquisition of Greenland by the United States is essential to our national security. Joe Biden took a blowtorch to our reputation these past four years, and before even taking office, President Trump is telling the world that America First is back. American economic and security interests will no longer take a backseat, and House Republicans are ready to help President Trump deliver for the American people. That’s why I introduced the Make Greenland Great Again Act,” said Congressman Ogles.
“We have a mandate to help President Trump execute his America First agenda, which is one of the reasons I’m proud to be an original cosponsor of this bill. Greenland, becoming part of the US, would not only provide a strategic military advantage and boost the American economy but also benefit the residents of Greenland,” said Congresswoman Harshbarger.
“Greenland and the United States already enjoy a strong, mutually beneficial relationship that includes the presence of our Pituffik air base. The United States is well positioned both physically and strategically to protect Greenland and encourage economic growth that will benefit both Americans and Greenlanders. We in Congress are encouraged by President Trump’s vision of a stronger relationship between Greenland and the United States by offering to put forth a proposal to acquire Greenland and are eager to pave the way by providing official congressional authorization to do so. I’d like to thank Congressman Ogles for leading this initiative and look forward to supporting President Trump’s efforts to acquire Greenland,” said Congressman Dunn.
“Securing Greenland is critical to advancing America’s national security and economic interests. Four years of failed leadership under Joe Biden weakened our position on the global stage, but President Trump is once again putting America First. This legislation ensures we take bold steps to protect our future and send a clear message that the United States will lead with strength and strategy. I’m proud to support President Trump’s efforts by co-sponsoring the Make Greenland Great Again Act,” said Congressman Moore.
“Does anyone regret the Louisiana Purchase or the acquisition of Alaska? The acquisition of Greenland represents a bold and essential expansion of American interests, one that would restore national pride and optimism to a country demoralized by the disastrous policies of the past four years under the Biden Administration. President Trump’s vision for Greenland is exactly what is needed to reignite the spirit of Manifest Destiny that once propelled Americans to greatness. A historic presidency deserves a historic beginning. Let’s Make Greenland Great Again!” – Congressman Rulli
