The Joint House Resolution from the Vermont House of Representatives expresses strong support for the existing treaty between the United States and Denmark regarding Greenland, while opposing any American attempts to assert sovereignty over the island. The resolution highlights Greenland's historical governance by Denmark since 1814 and its current status as a semiautonomous territory, emphasizing the ongoing democratic process among Greenlanders to determine their independence. It references past agreements between the U.S. and Denmark concerning military presence and cooperation in Greenland, particularly in light of recent statements from former President Trump and his administration suggesting a desire for U.S. control over the island.

The resolution also underscores the importance of NATO and the potential consequences of U.S. actions that could threaten the alliance, as articulated by Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and other European leaders. It asserts that U.S. sovereignty over Greenland is unnecessary for American companies to engage in mining contracts on the island. The Vermont General Assembly calls for the Secretary of State to send copies of the resolution to key figures, including President Trump, U.S. officials, and Danish leadership, reinforcing Vermont's stance on respecting Greenland's sovereignty and the existing treaty framework.
