In a move that's garnering attention, Rep. Buddy Carter from Georgia has recently proposed a bill aimed at renaming Greenland to "Red, White, and Blueland," aligning with President Donald Trump's aspirations to annex the territory.
Fox News reported that Rep. Carter's bill, proposing the name change to "Red, White, and Blueland," underscores a significant geopolitical strategy nurtured by both the congressman and former President Trump.
Rep. Buddy Carter, a member of the Republican party from Georgia, is championing President Trump’s previously expressed desire to acquire Greenland, first floated publicly in 2019.
Trump, who has branded the purchase as a major real estate opportunity, reiterated its necessity for national security late last year.
On Tuesday, Carter took a formal step by introducing a legislative measure called the "Red, White, and Blueland Act of 2025." This bill seeks not only to rename the large Arctic island but also mandates the alteration of its name in all U.S. legal and governmental documents.
Despite the assertive move by Carter, as of Tuesday evening, there had been no indication of co-sponsorship within Congress.
Furthermore, communication between Carter and Trump regarding this proposal has reportedly not taken place, signifying a potential gap in executive-legislative coordination.
Carter’s office confirmed the lack of co-sponsors and dialogue with the President. Despite this, Carter has fervently expressed support for the bill and its implications for the United States.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, meanwhile, has countered claims about Greenland’s availability for purchase, emphasizing that it is not for sale. However, she acknowledged the strategic importance of the Arctic, suggesting openness to heightened U.S. military and strategic presence in the region.
President Trump's assertion of Greenland’s strategic value was highlighted in his message on the platform Truth Social in December, where he labeled control over Greenland as "an absolute necessity" for national security and global freedom.
Reacting to the geopolitical dimensions, Prime Minister Frederiksen's comments in early February expanded on the necessity of focusing on Arctic defense capabilities. Her statements were in direct response to the growing military interests of China and Russia in that sensitive region.
This adds a layer of complexity to Carter’s proposal, situating it within broader international defense and security dialogues that involve significant global powers.
Carter, in his advocacy for the bill, stated, “America is back and will soon be bigger than ever.” He further highlighted, “President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority,” praising Trump as the "Negotiator-in-Chief" expected to finalize this monumental deal.
Further pushing the patriotic angle, the actual text of the bill declares, “Greenland shall be known as 'Red, White, and Blueland.'”
This showcases a symbolic yet controversial renaming that reflects a dramatic shift in American foreign policy perspectives under the Trump administration and its supporters.
Trump’s and Carter’s views align closely regarding the strategic acquisitions for national security, thus underscoring the former president's influence on certain Republican lawmakers’ geopolitical strategies.
The unfolding scenario represents not just a legislative initiative but a notable element in the ongoing narrative of U.S. foreign policy under the Trump administration's lasting influence.
As the bill proceeds, or fails to gain traction, it will serve as a measure of support within the Republican Party for Trump’s vision of American expansion and its assertiveness on the global stage.
