It seems that the president of the United States, Donald Trump, could try to change the name of Greenland “red, white and bluend” under a new bill presented by Congress.
He New bill It was introduced by the Republican representative of the USA. UU. Buddy Carter, and would give Trump the power to enter into negotiations with Denmark to acquire Greenland and rename it, if he approves the camera and the Senate.
“The United States has returned and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of red, white and blue,” Carter said In a statement. “President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority, and we will proudly welcome his people to unite the freer nation so that he has existed when our chief negotiator assumes this treatment this treatment monumental”.
Carter's new proposal offers the Office of the Secretary of the Interior six months after the possible approval of the bill to ensure that federal documents that reflect the new name of “red, white and blue blue” are updated.
Groenland, home to a large American military base, is an autonomous territory of Denmark, an American ally for a long time and a NATO founding member.
Meanwhile, in Denmark, thousands of Danish citizens have signed a satirical request from “Denmark” to buy California in the United States in response to Trump's current offer to acquire Greenland.

“Trump is not exactly the greatest fan of California. He called it “the most ruined state of the Union” and has fought with its leaders for years. We are quite sure that he would be willing to separate from the right price. “
Last month, the Danish politician Anders Vistisen did not stop when he issued a public message to Trump about his launch to make Greenlandia be part of the United States.
“Dear President Trump, listening closely,” said Vestisen in the European Parliament. “Greenland has been part of the Danish kingdom for 800 years. It is an integrated part of our country. It is not on sale. “
Vistisen went on to use blasphemy that put it in trouble with the rest of the European Parliament.
“Let me put it into words you can understand,” he said. “Lord. Trump, f – k outside!
Nicolae Stefanuta, vice president of the European Parliament, jumped and told Vistisen that language was not acceptable.
“If the translation was correct, the term you used is not allowed in this house and there will be consequences in the message it has used,” Stefanuta said. “It is not right in this Chamber of Democracy. Thank you. Regardless of what we think of Mr. Trump, it is not possible to use that language. “
The journalists asked Trump about Greenland after assuming office on January 20.
“Greenland is a wonderful place, we need it for international security,” Trump replied. “I am sure that Denmark will come, it is costing a lot of money to keep it, keep it.”
On January 21, the Prime Minister of Greenland, Mute B. Egede, addressed Trump's comments on the territory.
“We are Greenlandés. We don't want to be Americans. Nor do we want to be Danish. Greenland's future will be decided by Greenland. Our country and our people will decide what happens to Greenland. ”
In January, Trump said he would not rule out the use of strength or economic pressure to make Greenland, a semi -autonomous territory of Denmark, part of the United States. Trump said it was a matter of national security for the United States.
“We need Greenland for national security purposes,” Trump told journalists on January 7.
Trump has put doubts about the legitimacy of Denmark's claim to Greenland. When heading to Trump's comments in an interview with the Danish TV2 station, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called the “most important and closest ally” of the United States of the United States, and said he did not believe that the United States would use military or economic power to ensure control over Greenland. .
Frederiksen repeated that he welcomed the United States to have a greater interest in the Arctic region, but said that “it would have to be done in a respectful way to the Greenlandic people.”
“At the same time, it must be done in a way that allows Denmark and the United States still cooperate in, among other things, in NATO,” Frederiksen said.
Trump initially expressed interest in Greenland in 2019 during his first term in office. He said that Greenland was “hurting Denmark very badly” and that it cost $ 700 million a year. Its solution was to make the United States acquire Greenland, calling it “a great real estate agreement.”
