Georgia congressman moves to help Trump acquire Greenland and rename it 'Red, White and Blueland'

Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., introduced a bill on Tuesday called the "Red, White, and Blueland Act of 2025," which would Americanize Greenland's name if acquired by the U.S.

"Greenland shall be known as 'Red, White, and Blueland,'" the text states. "Any reference in a law, map, regulation, document, paper, or other record of the United States to Greenland shall be deemed to be a reference to ‘Red, White, and Blueland.'"

Carter has not spoken to Trump about the bill, which had no cosponsors as of Tuesday evening, Carter's office told Fox News Digital.

Trump has signaled interest in acquiring Greenland since 2019, calling it a potentially "large real estate deal," toward the end of his first term. In December, he ramped up calls for the U.S. to acquire the Danish territory and called it a national security issue.

"[F]or purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity," the then-president-elect wrote in a Truth Social post at the time.

"And at the same time, we are willing to scale up from the Kingdom of Denmark. And I think NATO is the same. So if this is about securing our part of the world, we can find a way forward."
