GOP bill would rename Greenland to "Red, White and Blueland"

Driving the news: Rep. Earl "Buddy" Carter's (R-Ga.) two-page "Red, White, and Blueland Act of 2025'' would "authorize the President to enter into negotiations to acquire Greenland and to rename Greenland as 'Red, White, and Blueland.'"

• The bill would also require the federal government to refer to it as such on official maps and documents.
• The leaders of Greenland and Denmark — of which Greenland is a territory — have pushed back on the idea of trying to purchase Greenland, as have some Democrats.

What he's saying: "America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland," Carter said in a statement.

• "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."

Zoom out: Republican lawmakers have also introduced legislation to allow Trump to negotiate the re-purchase of the Panama Canal and to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America."
