DONALD Trump has been pushed to rename Greenland to Red, White and Blueland and enter negotiations to seize the ice island.
The Republican congressman who proposed the idea added that the Danish territory was vital as a “national security priority.”
Georgia Republican Buddy Carter, 67, unveiled a new legislation to encourage Trump to start negotiations to “purchase or otherwise acquire” Greenland.
“America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland,” Carter told the New York Post.
The Red, White, and Blueland Act of 2025 would require the secretary of the interior’s team to update federal paperwork with the new name for Greenland.
This department would have just six months to complete the drastic update.
“President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority, and we will proudly welcome its people to join the freest nation to ever exist when our Negotiator-in-Chief inks this monumental deal,” Carter added.
The commander-in-chief has long set his sights on the frozen island and even sent his son there for an unofficial visit before his second inauguration.
Denmark, which owns Greenland, has strongly insisted the island is not for sale, but this has not stopped Trump from eyeing the land.
Trump refused to rule out using military force to seize the island.
He previously boasted that the people of Greenland wanted to be part of the US.
“I think the people want to be with us,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One on January 25.
Trump had been putting pressure on PM Mette Frederiksen despite reportedly being told to “f**k off” by the Danes.
Greenland is a vital strategic asset bursting with natural resources and sits in the middle of the main Arctic trade routes.
The Arctic is increasingly the object of a struggle between international superpowers.
Russia and China have both ramped up efforts to take control of the region, and concerns exist that America has been caught off guard.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also defended Trump’s goals with the island as he highlighted a 1951 treaty that promised to defend the island in the event of an attack.
“If we’re already on the hook for having to do that, then we might as well have more control over what happens there,” Rubio said on The Megyn Kelly Show.
“This is not a joke,” he added.
“This is not about acquiring land for the purpose of acquiring land. This is in our national interest and it needs to be solved.”
RENAMING JOB
This has not been Trump’s only shock international land grab idea.
The president declared February 9 Gulf of America Day after he signed a proclamation to rename to basin.
He confirmed the change while flying over the waters, while on his way to the Super Bowl.
The president signed an executive order on his inauguration day that renamed the basin.
As Trump signed the document on Sunday, Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum explained what the proclamation was.
“The button was pushed, it became official with this proclamation to call today Gulf of America Day, but now it’s going out as we’re sitting here right now,” Burgum said.
Google Maps has since caved into the President’s wishes and renamed the basin on its site.
