Andy Ogles has introduced a bill that would enable President-elect Donald Trump to pursue the purchase of Greenland upon his return to office. Following weeks of indications from Trump about his interest in annexing the territory, the proposed &#8220;Make Greenland Great Again Act&#8221; would permit him to initiate negotiations with Denmark for the acquisition of Greenland by the U.S. In a Fox News interview, Ogles stated that this legislation aims to restore America&#8217;s global reputation after what he described as damage done during Joe Biden&#8217;s presidency. He emphasized that American interests will be prioritized and expressed support from House Republicans for Trump&#8217;s agenda. The bill allows Trump to begin discussions with Denmark immediately after his inauguration on January 20, and Congress would have 60 days to approve any agreement reached. The proposal has garnered support from ten sponsors across different factions within the Republican Party. Trump&#8217;s interest in acquiring Greenland and other strategic locations like the Panama Canal has been well-documented, highlighting its valuable natural resources amid growing geopolitical competition in the Arctic region. However, Greenland&#8217;s Prime Minister Mute Egede recently expressed a desire for independence from Denmark and clarified that his people do not wish to become Americans but want control over their own future<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2389838,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Donald-Trump-14.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[6203,47289,4762,5894],"class_list":["post-2389837","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-gop","tag-greenland","tag-legislation","tag-politics"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Donald-Trump-14.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2389837","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2389837"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2389837\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2389841,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2389837\/revisions\/2389841"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2389838"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2389837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2389837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2389837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
