H.R. 7013: Greenland Sovereignty Protection Act

This bill, titled the Greenland Sovereignty Protection Act, aims to limit the U.S. federal government's involvement in the acquisition or influence over Greenland. Here is a summary of its key provisions:

Prohibition on Federal Funding

The bill prohibits the use of federal funds for several specific activities related to Greenland:

• Invasion or Acquisition: No federal funds can be used to support any actions that would lead to the invasion, annexation, purchase, or any other form of acquisition of Greenland by the United States or by any federal official or entity.
• Military Presence: The bill denies any increase in the presence of U.S. Armed Forces in Greenland, as well as any additional federal funding or assistance for the territory. The funding levels would be maintained at amounts equivalent to those in place before the enactment of this bill, adjusted for inflation.
• Influence Campaigns: The bill also prohibits the funding of any programs or activities aimed at influencing the self-determination of the people of Greenland. This includes any overt or covert actions conducted by federal officials to sway public opinion or political decisions in Greenland.

Waiver of Prohibition

The prohibitions set out in this bill can only be waived if a specific law is passed after this bill becomes law. This new law would need to explicitly authorize the activity in question and reference the Greenland Sovereignty Protection Act.

Purpose of the Bill

The primary purpose of the Greenland Sovereignty Protection Act is to ensure that the United States respects the sovereignty and self-determination of Greenland, preventing federal actions that might involve the forced acquisition or undue influence over the territory.
