Democrats have prepared a response to the Republicans' initiative.
The US Congress will consider a bill to "annex Greenland" as the country's 51st state, writes Fox News.
House Republican Representative Randy Fine has proposed a bill that would suggest a way to annex Greenland to the US as the 51st state.
The initiative would authorize Donald Trump to take the "necessary steps" to voluntarily bring the Danish autonomous territory under U.S. jurisdiction, Fine said. Congress, meanwhile, retains the right to make the final decision on whether Greenland becomes a state.
Fein argued that such a measure is necessary because of Greenland's strategic location, its proximity to Russia and critical minerals, and the social problems of the island's inhabitants.
"The poverty rate in Greenland is much, much higher than in Denmark. The country is run by socialists, and it's in America's interest to prevent such a vast area between the United States and Russia from being run by socialists," Fine said.
Besides high poverty, Denmark allegedly "mistreated" the Greenlanders.
"When the war started, Denmark failed to protect them. Guess who defended Greenland during World War II? We did," the congressman said.
The best solution to the issue, he called the voluntary annexation of Greenland to the United States rather than the force option, although the White House has not previously ruled out the use of military force to acquire the island.
The process of joining the United States requires congressional approval: first a law is passed to form a new state, then the territory's residents approve the constitution of that state, after which Congress casts a final vote on its inclusion, followed by the president's signature.
Almost simultaneously, Democrats introduced an alternative bill aimed at blocking such scenarios. California Congressman Jimmy Gomez introduced the so-called Greenland Sovereignty Protection Act. The document explicitly prohibits the use of federal funds for "invasion, annexation, purchase, or any other form of acquisition of Greenland" by the U.S. government.
The Democrats' bill also blocks funding for a possible U.S. military buildup on the island and any public influence campaigns aimed at inducing the Greenland population to support U.S. control. The Democratic Party emphasizes that such initiatives undermine international law and relations with allies.
