House Republicans on Monday introduced a bill that would allow President-elect Trump to enter into negotiations with Denmark to acquire Greenland.
It's the latest in a series of proposed Republican legislation to bring Trump's vision of a new, sprawling American empire to fruition.
The bill would authorize the president — at the moment of Trump's swearing in on Jan. 20 — to "seek to enter into negotiations with the Kingdom of Denmark to secure the acquisition of Greenland by the United States.
The bill would give Congress the ability to block any agreement within 60 days, though it would need a veto-proof two-thirds majority in both chambers to do so.
Greenland is a sovereign part of Denmark, and this is a crime against international law.
