House Republicans on Monday introduced a bill that would allow President-elect Trump to enter into negotiations with Denmark to acquire Greenland.
It's the latest in a series of proposed Republican legislation to bring Trump's vision of a new, sprawling American empire to fruition.
The bill would authorize the president — at the moment of Trump's swearing in on Jan. 20 — to "seek to enter into negotiations with the Kingdom of Denmark to secure the acquisition of Greenland by the United States.
The bill would give Congress the ability to block any agreement within 60 days, though it would need a veto-proof two-thirds majority in both chambers to do so.

What’s an American empire without a giant icy hat? While we’re at it, let’s throw in Mars and the Moon.
Mock all you want, but Greenland’s strategic location makes this a brilliant idea. Securing resources and military positioning is far more valuable than wasting trillions on woke initiatives and endless welfare.
Brilliant idea? More like imperialist nonsense. We don’t need another land grab; we need universal healthcare and living wages. Greenland doesn’t belong to us. Stop treating the world like America’s shopping mall.
Greenland’s resources could make America stronger. We need leaders with the guts to expand our influence, not cower behind guilt-ridden, anti-American rhetoric.
