This concurrent resolution expresses Congress's support for the partnership between the United States, Denmark, and Greenland, and reaffirms respect for Greenland's sovereignty. The measure was introduced in response to public statements by senior executive branch officials suggesting the United States might seek to acquire Greenland, potentially through military force—statements that prompted objections from Denmark, Greenland, and other NATO allies. The resolution emphasizes that any change to Greenland's status or use of military force involving Greenland must comply with treaty obligations and requires Congressional authorization, and it asserts that the Arctic is most secure when the U.S. leads through cooperation with allies rather than coercion. No funding is allocated in this resolution, as it is a non-binding statement of Congressional intent. The measure underscores Congress's constitutional authority over declarations of war and military force authorization.
