House GOP Advances Legislation To Give President Trump The Authority To Negotiate For Purchasing Greenland!

At first, everyone thought President Trump was joking about purchasing Greenland.

They soon realized he was very serious.

And it makes sense.  A lot of sense.

Key to our strategic defenses and future sovereignty of America.

Congress knows he’s not joking either and that’s why they’re now advancing new legislation to explicitly give him authority to negotiate for the purchase.

Incredible!

Take a look:

Even Polymarket is starting to get spicy, with 15% of the betting markets believing Trump will succeed in purchasing Greenland in 2025:

I actually think that question is phrased a bit tricky….

I wonder how much the odds would jump much higher than 15% if the time limitation of “in 2025” were removed?

For something as large as this, thinking it will happen in less than 11 months is quite aggressive:

I bet it jumps to close to 40% if you took off the date limitation.

Here are more details, from Fox News:

President-elect Donald Trump’s House GOP allies are clearing the runway for him to make good on his vow to acquire Greenland.

Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., is leading a bill to authorize Trump to enter negotiations with Denmark over purchasing Greenland, a territory located in North America but with longstanding cultural and geopolitical ties to Europe.

The bill is titled the “Make Greenland Great Again Act,” according to a copy of its text obtained by Fox News Digital.

“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,” Ogles told Fox News Digital.

It would allow the sitting president to enter into talks with Denmark just after noon on Jan. 20, when Trump is due to be sworn in.

“Not later than 5 calendar days after reaching an agreement with the Kingdom of Denmark relating to the acquisition of Greenland by the United States, the President shall transmit to the appropriate congressional committees the agreement, including all related materials and annexes,” the legislation said.

The Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse, meaning the executive branch cannot make any purchases for the federal government without getting the funds first appropriated by the House of Representatives and approved in the Senate.

Ogles’ bill is backed by 10 fellow House Republicans, including Reps. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., Diana Harshbarger, R-Tenn., Michael Rulli, R-Ohio, Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., Neal Dunn, R-Fla., Barry Moore, R-Ala., Randy Weber, R-Texas, and the new incoming House Science Committee Chairman, Brian Babin, R-Texas.

While he first floated the idea during his first term in the White House, recent weeks have seen Trump ramping up public comments about acquiring Greenland, as well as other entities like the Panama Canal.

Meanwhile, the Greenland Prime Minister says he wants to work with the United States on defense and mining:

Sounds like a first step to me!

Greenland wishes to open up for collaboration with the USA in defense and the exploration of the island's mineral resources.

JD Vance Says "There's A Deal To Be Made In Greenland"

In a recent interview on Fox News, Vice President-elect JD Vance said, "There's a deal to be made in Greenland."

Vance's comment comes weeks after President Trump has hinted the United States should own Greenland for economic and strategic purposes.

Vance on Fox News Sunday said, "We don't have to use military force, Shannon. The thing that people always ignore is that we already have troops in Greenland."

He added, "Greenland is really important for America strategically."

Here's what Salon reported:

JD Vance is open to any angle that could help close a deal on Donald Trump's desired annexation of Greenland.

Speaking on "Fox News Sunday," the vice president-elect hinted at a potential flex of the United States' military muscle on the Arctic island. Host Shannon Bream wondered if Trump would be willing to use the military in his designs on the Panama Canal, Canada and Greenland, causing Vance to laugh and point out the extensive nature of the country's hidden empire.

"We don't have to use military force, Shannon. The thing that people always ignore is we already have troops in Greenland," Vance said. "Greenland is really important for America strategically."

Per Axios:

Vice President-elect JD Vance said in an interview aired Sunday that "there's a deal to be made in Greenland" amid President-elect Trump's indication that he wants the U.S. to own the world's largest island.

Trump's refusal to rule out military force to acquire Greenland, currently defended by NATO member Denmark, or the Panama Canal sent shockwaves through the U.S. and its ally nations.

Vance said on "Fox News Sunday" that military force isn't needed in Greenland, and that the U.S. already has troops stationed on the island.

Trump has repeatedly said that controlling Greenland is critical for U.S. national security, a talking point that Vance echoed on Sunday.

Danish officials, in private messages sent to Trump's team, expressed willingness to boost security in Greenland or increase U.S. military presence there, Axios' Barak Ravid and Dave Lawler report.

Greenland is "really important for America strategically" and has "a lot of great natural resources," Vance said.
