According to Reuters, a draft bill distributed to co-sponsors on the 13th local time showed that U.S. President-elect Trump’s Republican colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives plan to introduce a bill to provide support for authorizing Trump to negotiate with Denmark on the acquisition of Greenland.

The bill is called the "Make Greenland Great Again Act," according to Republican Reps. Andy Ogles and Diana Harshbarger. As of the morning of the 13th local time, the draft bill had 10 co-sponsors.

If this bill is passed, it will allow Trump to negotiate with Denmark on relevant matters after taking office on January 20th. The draft bill states, "Congress hereby authorizes the President, effective January 20th, 2025, at 12:01 p.m. EST, to seek negotiations with the Kingdom of Denmark to secure the United States' acquisition of Greenland."

Previously, Trump's remarks regarding Greenland sparked strong dissatisfaction from the island's autonomous government, Denmark, and several European countries.

Trump said on January 7th that the United States must buy Greenland for so-called "economic security" and "protection of the free world." If Denmark refuses the U.S. purchase, "tariffs will be very high" on Danish products exported to the United States. He also said he would not rule out using military force to seize control of Greenland and the Panama Canal. In response, Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen said that Greenland is "not for sale."

On January 13, local time, Mute Egede, Prime Minister of the Greenland Autonomous Government, held a press conference in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. He said that Trump's remarks were worrying. Mute Egede said Greenland is not for sale and Greenlanders will decide the country's future. "We have started talking to Trump and are looking for cooperation opportunities," he reiterated Greenland's willingness to cooperate with the United States. "We have professionals in the mining field and we will continue to do so in the coming years. We need to trade with the United States.”
