Rep. Buddy Carter introduces bill to rename Greenland as Red, White, and Blueland
The proposed bill would authorize President Trump to acquire Greenland and rename it to reflect American patriotism.
(41NBC/WMGT)- U.S. Representative Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) has introduced the Red, White, and Blueland Act of 2025, a bill that would authorize the President to negotiate the acquisition of Greenland from Denmark and officially rename it Red, White, and Blueland.
The bill outlines a framework for the U.S. government to engage in talks with Denmark regarding the purchase or acquisition of Greenland, citing national security and strategic interests. It also mandates that all references to Greenland in U.S. federal laws, maps, and documents be updated to reflect the new name.
In a statement announcing the bill, Carter said:
“America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland. President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority, and we will proudly welcome its people to join the freest nation to ever exist when our Negotiator-in-Chief inks this monumental deal.”
Key Provisions of the Red, White, and Blueland Act
- Presidential Authority to Negotiate: The bill explicitly grants the President the authority to enter negotiations with Denmark to purchase or otherwise acquire Greenland.
- Official Renaming: If the acquisition is successful, Greenland will officially be renamed “Red, White, and Blueland”.
- Federal Document Updates: All U.S. government records, laws, and maps must be updated to reflect the name change within 180 days of the bill’s enactment. The Secretary of the Interior, through the Board on Geographic Names, will oversee the process.
Greenland’s Strategic Importance
Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, has long been viewed as a key strategic asset due to its location in the Arctic and its natural resources. The Trump administration previously explored the idea of purchasing Greenland in 2019, but the Danish government firmly rejected the proposal.
