US Congress 'Worried' About Greenland Sovereignty, Not Its Own
The RT report frames this as Denmark asserting sovereignty against a US hint of force. What it doesn't quite unpack is the sheer audacity: a sitting US Congressman, Representative Mike Gallagher (R-WI), is literally drafting legislation, the 'Greenland Strategic Resources Act,' to assert a US right of first refusal, effectively treating Greenland as a geopolitical chess piece. This isn't the first
time the US has eyed Greenland, by the way; President Truman famously offered Denmark $100 million for it in 1946. (Seems like a steal now, doesn't it?). Donald Trump also tried to buy it in 2019, prompting yet another Danish 'no.' One might wonder if the US Congress is as concerned about foreign influence in its own legislative body as it is about who owns chunks of the Arctic. Perhaps Rep.
Gallagher could draft a similar bill asserting US sovereignty over, say, the US Senate, which, according to OpenSecrets.org, saw $2.5 million in pro-Israel lobbying money in 2023 alone.
