DONALD Trump has been pushed to rename Greenland as “Red, White and Blueland” and enter negotiations to seize the ice island.
A Republican congressman warned the Danish territory was vital as a “national security priority”.
Buddy Carter, a 67-year-old Republican from Georgia, has introduced a new bill aimed at urging President Trump to initiate discussions to “buy or otherwise obtain” Greenland.
The congressman even proposed which patriotic name should be bestowed on the island.
“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 proposed legislation, known as the Red, White, and Blueland Act of 2025, would mandate the Department of the Interior to update official documents to reflect Greenland’s potential new status.
This department would have just six months to complete the drastic update.
Carter emphasized, “President Trump has correctly recognized the acquisition of what is currently Greenland as a matter of national security importance, and we will eagerly embrace its citizens into the most liberated nation in history once our skilled negotiator finalizes this historic agreement.”
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.
The US President refused to rule out using military force to seize the island.
Trump previously boasted that the people of Greenland wanted to be part of the US, telling reporters in Air Force One on January 25.
The President said: “I think the people want to be with us.”
Trump had been putting pressure on PM Mette Frederiksen despite reportedly being told to “f*** off” by the Danes.
Greenland is a vital strategic asset bursting with natural resources and sits bang in the middle of the main Arctic trade routes.
Greenland sits in the middle of the Arctic Ocean and among the key trade arteries in the region.
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 which 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 Trumps 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 had signed an Executive Order on his inauguration day which renamed the basin.
As Trump signed the document on Sunday, his Secretary of the Interior – Doug Burgum – explained what the proclamation was.
Burgum said: “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.”
Google Maps has since caved into the President’s wishes and renamed the basin on it’s site.
The name has also changed to “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)” on international Google Maps too.
The Gulf is shared between the US, Mexico, and Cuba.
