The proposal to acquire and rename Greenland as "Red, White, and Blueland" raises significant concerns. Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark and enjoys the right to self-governance and self-determination. Any attempt to purchase or acquire Greenland without the full consent and participation of the Greenlandic people would be a violation of their sovereignty and democratic rights.
As an ally and partner, the United States should respect Greenland's autonomy and the will of its people. Imposing a name change and territorial acquisition without their approval would damage our relationship and undermine principles of international cooperation and mutual respect.
Furthermore, such a unilateral action could set a dangerous precedent for disregarding the territorial integrity and self-determination of other nations or territories. It would contradict American values of democracy, human rights, and the rules-based international order.
Reject this bill and reaffirm our commitment to the sovereignty of Greenland and all nations. Respect for self-determination and territorial integrity must remain cornerstones of American foreign policy.
