This concurrent resolution addresses recent public statements suggesting the United States might seek to acquire Greenland, potentially through military force, which have caused concern among allies. It reaffirms the close partnership between the United States, the Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, based on shared democratic values, collective security, and mutual respect for sovereignty. The resolution states that the United States Government respects the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Denmark, including Greenland, consistent with longstanding treaty commitments like the North Atlantic Treaty. It clarifies that any change in Greenland's status or use of United States military force involving Greenland must comply with treaty obligations and is subject to Congressional authorization . Furthermore, it advocates for strengthening diplomatic, economic, and security cooperation with Denmark and Greenland through partnership and alliance-based engagement, emphasizing that the Arctic is most secure through cooperation rather than coercion.
