Amid US President Donald Trump’s threats of having to do “something” about Greenland, US Congressman Randy Fine introduced a bill seeking the annexation of the Arctic island and its eventual admission as a US state, as the push to control the strategically located island continues by Trump and his administration.

Congressman Fine, who is a lawmaker in the US House of Representatives, in a post on X stated that he had introduced the “Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act”, legislation that would authorise the US President to pursue all necessary means to bring Greenland into the American Union.

Fine framed the move as essential to counter the growing influence of Russia and China in the Arctic and to safeguard US national security, a claim also made by the US President.

The lawmaker further asserted that US adversaries are attempting to establish a foothold in the Arctic and argued that acquiring Greenland would prevent rival powers from controlling the region and would help secure America"s northern flank.

"Huge News! Today, I am proud to introduce the Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act, a bill that allows the President to find the means necessary to bring Greenland into the Union. Let me be clear, our adversaries are trying to establish a foothold in the Arctic, and we can’t let that happen. By acquiring Greenland, we would prevent our adversaries from controlling the Arctic Region and secure our northern flank from Russia and China”, - reads his post.
