US Lawmaker Proposes Bill to Annex Greenland Amid Trump's Arctic Ambitions

• US Congressman Randy Fine introduced the Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act in the House of Representatives.
• The bill authorizes the US president to pursue 'all necessary means' to acquire Greenland and integrate it into the United States.
• The move follows former President Donald Trump's renewed warnings about preventing Russia or China from gaining influence in the Arctic.
• Fine argues that US control of Greenland is a 'vital national security asset' to secure America's northern flank.
• Danish and Greenlandic leaders have consistently rejected any suggestion of annexation or sale, emphasizing self-determination.
