HCR 3026 North Dakota House · 69th Legislative Assembly (2025-26)

A concurrent resolution urging Congress and the President of the United States to pursue diplomatic efforts, in good faith and with respect for the sovereignty of all parties, to propose the peaceful annexation of Greenland as a territory of the United States of America.

HCR 3026 is a symbolic resolution passed by the North Dakota legislature urging the U.S. Congress and President to pursue diplomatic talks for Greenland’s peaceful annexation as a U.S. territory. It cites Greenland’s strategic Arctic location, natural resources, and existing U.S.-Greenland cooperation (like Thule Air Base) as justification, though Greenland is currently an autonomous territory within Denmark. The resolution requests diplomatic engagement with Greenland and Denmark to explore voluntary integration while respecting Greenlandic rights. It failed to advance in the North Dakota Senate (36-54 vote against adoption) and has no legal effect, as it is a non-binding request for federal action.
