RESOLUTION 
Honoring President Donald J. Trump for securing a historic 
strategic agreement establishing permanent United 
States sovereignty and control over critical military in-
stallations in Greenland, strengthening Arctic security, 
and countering malign Russian and Chinese influence. 
Whereas the Arctic region has emerged as a central theater 
of great power competition, with Russia and the People’s 
Republic of China seeking to expand their military, eco-
nomic, and strategic footprint in the High North; 
Whereas Greenland occupies one of the most strategically sig-
nificant geographic positions in the world, serving as a 
gateway between North America and Europe and a crit-

ical node for early-warning systems, missile defense, and 
Arctic power projection; 
Whereas previous administrations failed to adequately ad-
dress the growing security risks posed by foreign adver-
saries operating in and around Greenland, leaving the 
United States and its allies vulnerable to emerging 
threats in the Arctic domain; 
Whereas President Donald J. Trump demonstrated decisive 
leadership by pursuing a bold diplomatic strategy to se-
cure permanent United States sovereignty and control 
over key military bases and defense installations in 
Greenland, ensuring uninterrupted American operational 
authority and readiness in the region; 
Whereas, under the leadership of President Trump, the 
United States reached a long-term strategic framework 
with Denmark, Greenland, and North Atlantic Treaty 
Organization (NATO) allies that respects existing polit-
ical arrangements while guaranteeing exclusive United 
States military control over critical installations necessary 
for national and allied defense; 
Whereas this historic agreement enhances the ability of the 
United States to deploy advanced missile defense sys-
tems, safeguard Arctic sealanes, and prevent Russia and 
China from gaining any economic or military foothold in 
Greenland; 
Whereas the agreement strengthens NATO’s collective secu-
rity posture, reinforces transatlantic unity, and ensures 
that the Arctic remains secure, stable, and free from au-
thoritarian influence; 
Whereas President Trump’s leadership avoided armed con-
flict, preserved alliance cohesion, and delivered lasting se-

curity gains through strength-based diplomacy rather 
than concession or delay; and 
Whereas this achievement represents one of the most signifi-
cant advancements in United States Arctic and hemi-
spheric defense policy in modern history: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) honors President Donald J. Trump for his 
historic leadership in securing permanent United 
States sovereignty and control over critical military 
bases and defense installations in Greenland; 
(2) recognizes the strategic importance of 
Greenland to the national security of the United 
States and its allies; 
(3) affirms the necessity of maintaining robust 
American military presence and operational author-
ity in the Arctic to deter aggression by foreign ad-
versaries; and 
(4) commends the use of strength, diplomacy, 
and resolve in advancing United States security in-
terests without the use of force.
