A new bill introduced in the US House of Representatives could kickstart negotiations for the US to purchase Greenland. The legislation, reportedly dubbed the Make Greenland Great Again Act, already received support by ten lawmakers.

While Trump has suggested the US could buy Greenland before, his proposal was dismissed as absurd by both Greenlandic and Danish officials. However, the push continues, with some lawmakers backing the idea as a means to strengthen national security.
