Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on Armed Services, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The Hands Off Greenland Act prohibits the U.S. President from deploying American military troops to Greenland without an explicit invitation from the Kingdom of Denmark, which has sovereignty over the island territory. The bill blocks federal funding for any military deployment to Greenland except in response to a direct Danish invitation. The legislation applies immediately upon enactment and affects the Department of Defense and any military operations planning involving Greenland. No new funding is created or required by this bill; rather, it restricts how existing defense appropriations can be used. The bill was introduced in January 2026 and referred to the House Committees on Foreign Affairs and Armed Services for consideration.
