Washington, Republican U.S. Representative Randy Fine introduced the Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act on Monday, authorizing the president to pursue acquisition of Greenland for admission as a state. Fine said the measure aims to counter expanding Chinese and Russian influence in the Arctic and to secure U.S. national security interests. He announced the bill in a post on X and in a congressional statement. In response, bipartisan senators introduced the NATO Unity Protection Act to prohibit U.S. occupation or annexation of allied territories without consent. Reporting and statements provided the primary sources. Based on 6 articles reviewed and supporting research.
