HCONRES 70 United States House · 119th Congress

Affirming the partnership between the United States and Denmark and Greenland.

This concurrent resolution expresses Congress's formal stance on U.S. relations with Greenland and Denmark. It affirms U.S. respect for Denmark's sovereignty over Greenland, requires Congressional authorization for any military use involving Greenland (to comply with treaty obligations), and calls for strengthening cooperation through partnership rather than coercion. The resolution directly addresses concerns about recent statements suggesting U.S. interest in acquiring Greenland, emphasizing that Greenland’s future must be determined by its people. It underscores that Arctic security depends on alliance-based cooperation, not unilateral actions, and reiterates Congress’s constitutional role in authorizing military force.
