This legislative proposal, known as the "Red, White, and Blueland Act of 2025" , grants the President explicit authority to initiate negotiations with the Government of Denmark. The primary objective of these negotiations is to facilitate the purchase or other acquisition of Greenland by the United States. A significant provision of the bill dictates that, upon its acquisition, Greenland shall be officially renamed "Red, White, and Blueland" . Furthermore, it mandates that all references to Greenland in U.S. laws, maps, regulations, and other official records will henceforth be deemed references to the new name. The Secretary of the Interior, through the Board on Geographic Names, is tasked with overseeing the implementation of this renaming across federal documents and maps, with all federal agencies required to update their records within 180 days of the act's enactment.
