RESOLUTION

Honoring President Donald J. Trump for securing a historic strategic 
agreement establishing permanent United States sovereignty and control 
over critical military installations 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, economic, and strategic footprint in the High 
North;
Whereas Greenland occupies one of the most strategically significant geographic 
positions in the world, serving as a gateway between North America and 
Europe and a critical node for early-warning systems, missile defense, 
and Arctic power projection;
Whereas previous administrations failed to adequately address the growing 
security risks posed by foreign adversaries 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 secure 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 
political 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 systems, safeguard Arctic sealanes, and 
prevent Russia and China from gaining any economic or military foothold 
in Greenland;
Whereas the agreement strengthens NATO's collective security posture, reinforces 
transatlantic unity, and ensures that the Arctic remains secure, stable, 
and free from authoritarian influence;
Whereas President Trump's leadership avoided armed conflict, preserved alliance 
cohesion, and delivered lasting security gains through strength-based 
diplomacy rather than concession or delay; and
Whereas this achievement represents one of the most significant advancements in 
United States Arctic and hemispheric 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 authority in the Arctic to 
deter aggression by foreign adversaries; and
(4) commends the use of strength, diplomacy, and resolve in 
advancing United States security interests without the use of 
force.
