Today, Congressman Fine (FL-06) introduced the Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act, landmark legislation focused on securing America’s strategic national security interests in the Arctic and countering the growing threats posed by China and Russia.
In 1898 they annexed Hawaii by a joint resolution of Congress, after some business goons and Marines overthrew the Queen of Hawaii in 1893 and a few years of negotiations. The Hawaiians by majority did not want to be annexed.
Greenland is a territory of Denmark, a member of NATO, and they also don’t want to be annexed so this is a bit different. Congress should vote to not go to war with NATO.
I’m curious which countries have wanted to be annexed.
The Republic of Texas? That’s probably it, though.
