Hands Off Greenland Act
The Hands Off Greenland Act would prevent the U.S. President from deploying American military forces to Greenland without an explicit invitation from Denmark. It would also prohibit using federal funds for such deployments, except when Denmark formally requests U.S. military presence. This law directly restricts the executive branch's authority over military deployments in Greenland and requires coordination with Denmark, the country that governs Greenland as an autonomous territory. The bill applies to all U.S. military personnel and funding related to Greenland, ensuring no unilateral U.S. military actions without Danish consent.
