GOP Rep. Dragged After Introducing Bill To Give Greenland A Truly Unhinged New Name

Republican Rep. Buddy Carter of Georgia has submitted a bill that would change the name of Greenland to "Red, White, and Blueland"—and he's dead serious.

Republican Representative Buddy Carter of Georgia was criticized after he submitted a bill that would change the name of Greenland in the event President Donald Trump successfully purchases it.

Greenland is an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark and is, alongside the Faroe Islands, the only other autonomous territory within the Kingdom. Citizens of both Greenland and the Faroe Islands are full citizens of Denmark. As one of the Overseas Countries and Territories of the European Union, Greenland’s citizens are also recognized as EU citizens.


Although geographically part of the North American continent, Greenland has maintained strong political and cultural ties to Europe—specifically to Norway and Denmark, its historical colonial powers—for over a millennium.

The United States has long recognized Greenland's strategic importance. In 1946, the U.S. even proposed purchasing Greenland from Denmark, offering $100 million in gold as part of the deal—and while that never panned out, the world is nervously watching Trump since he voiced his desire for territorial expansion, calling "the ownership and control of Greenland" an "absolute necessity."

To that end, Carter's bill, the “Red, White, and Blueland Act of 2025,” tasks Interior Secretary Doug Burgum with managing the transition to the new name and ensuring that all official documents and maps reflect Greenland’s updated designation and authorizes Trump to enter into negotiations with Denmark “to purchase or otherwise acquire Greenland.”

In a statement, Carter said:

“America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland."
“President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority, and we will proudly welcome its people to join the freest nation to ever exist when our Negotiator-in-Chief inks this monumental deal.”

Carter also took to social media to promote the bill, aiming to make “Red, White & Blue Land” a trending topic.

He was mocked in response.


Last month, Fox News reporter Alex Hogan made an awkward admission about how Greenlanders feel about Trump's threats, noting that "most" don't support or appreciate his push to take control of it.

Hogan noted in her report that there had been a “mixed reaction” to Trump's proposal and began by highlighting an interview with Jørgen Boassen, an enthusiastic Trump supporter decked out in Trump merchandise. Boassen described Greenland as the “front door” to the U.S. and suggested the island might require protection from powers like Russia and China.

Fox then aired clips of several interviewees expressing a preference to remain under Denmark's governance, including one man who said "I hate it and don't know what he's aiming at" and another who said "I want to stick with the Danish government."

Hogan admitted that most people "do not support Trump's comments and find them offensive."

Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede also shut down Trump's stated goal of purchasing the island territory, stressing that "Greenland and the future of Greenland will be decided by the Greenlandic people, and the Greenlandic people don’t want to be Danes, the Greenlandic people don’t want to be Americans."
