A concurrent resolution affirming the partnership between the United States and Denmark and Greenland.
This concurrent resolution (SCONRES 26) affirms U.S. respect for Greenland’s sovereignty and Denmark’s territorial integrity, directly addressing concerns about recent U.S. statements suggesting potential military acquisition of Greenland. It mandates that any change to Greenland’s status or U.S. military action involving Greenland must comply with treaty obligations and receive congressional authorization. The resolution emphasizes strengthening U.S. cooperation with Denmark and Greenland through diplomacy and alliance-based engagement, rather than coercion. It also states that Arctic security is best maintained through allied cooperation, not unilateral actions, reaffirming U.S. commitment to NATO principles. As a symbolic resolution, it expresses Congress’s policy stance without creating new legal requirements.
