Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) is facing backlash after announcing plans to introduce legislation that would allow President Donald Trump to take control of Greenland for the United States.

President Trump argued the U.S. must acquire Greenland to prevent Russia or China from taking over, claiming Arctic territory has minimal defenses amid rising geopolitical tensions.

President Donald Trump‘s plan to annex Greenland gained further support Monday with the introduction of a bill by Republican Congressman Randy Fine.

President Donald Trump has for years had his eyes set on the island, which he has repeatedly threatened to annex. Why?

President Donald Trump is not the first U.S. government official interested in Greenland. The first major attempt to control the island was in 1868.

Greenland’s untapped mineral wealth has landed the island at the top of President Donald Trump’s empire-building wish list.

House Republican introduces bill to make Greenland America's 51st state as President Donald Trump pushes for U.S. control of the strategic Danish Arctic territory.

President Donald Trump said Sunday that the United States will take Greenland "one way or another, and Europe is stepping up in defense.

President Donald Trump continued his threats towards Greenland on Friday, as he insisted that if the United States did not act Russia or China would occupy it in the future.

In a bizarre twist, his claim came in response to a reporter asking if he was worried that his push to “acquire” the Danish-held territory “one way or the other” could mark the end of the 76-year-old military alliance.
