A newly drafted bill could grant the Trump administration the authority to begin negotiations.

President Donald Trump’s long-standing ambition to purchase Greenland has taken a step forward, as legislation has now been introduced in Congress.

The Trump administration’s expansionist agenda has been evident since the Republicans regained control of the White House less than a month ago (January 20).

The 78-year-old has already renamed the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America,” announced plans to reclaim the Panama Canal, encouraged Canada to join the U.S. as the 51st state, and expressed intent to “take over” Gaza, displacing its Palestinian population.

Trump’s desire to acquire Greenland has been widely known, even leading to a tense phone call with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen—an exchange that reportedly sent officials scrambling.

Greenland has been under Danish rule since it was colonized in the 18th century. It remained a colony until 1953, when it was reclassified as a district of Denmark.

So, what’s the latest development?

Republican Congressman Buddy Carter, who represents Georgia, introduced legislation last week that would authorize Trump to negotiate with Greenland and Denmark regarding the potential acquisition of the autonomous territory.

Carter issued a statement saying, “America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland.”
