Hands Off Greenland Act

This legislation, known as the Hands Off Greenland Act , establishes a clear prohibition on the deployment of United States Armed Forces to Greenland. It mandates that the President cannot assign any US troops for duty in Greenland unless an explicit invitation is received from the Kingdom of Denmark. This measure ensures that any American military presence on the island is contingent upon the sovereign request of the Danish government. Furthermore, the bill explicitly states that no federal funds are authorized for the deployment or assignment of such troops without this specific invitation, reinforcing the primary prohibition. This financial restriction aims to prevent any circumvention of the requirement for Danish consent regarding US military presence.
