Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) released the following statement today after introducing a bill authorizing President Trump to acquire Greenland and renaming it Red, White, and Blueland:

“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.”

Red, White, and Blueland

Does this mean France, and Russia, and every other country with those colors in their flags also have claims to that land?

I'm sure he is just referencing Norway which originally claimed the land before "somehow" Denmark got it, right?
