President Donald Trump's dream of buying Greenland has been given a boost after legislation has been drawn up and brought to Congress.

The Trump administration's expansionist agenda has been on full display since the Republicans reclaimed the Oval Office less than month ago (January 20).

The 78-year-old has officially renamed the Gulf of Mexico the 'Gulf of America', revealed plans to reclaim the Panama Canal, urged Canada to be the 51st state of America, and has shown intent to 'take over' Gaza displacing all Palestinians.

We're already aware of his aspiration to purchase Greenland, even having a fiery phone call with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen - which reportedly sent officials into crisis mode.

Of course, Greenland has been part of the Danish Kingdom since it was colonized back in the 18th century - and was seen as only a colony until 1953 when it was redefined as a district of Denmark.

So, what's the latest update then?

Well, it has come through Republican Congressman Buddy Carter, a representative of Georgia, who introduced legislation last week to allow Trump to speak with Greenland and Denmark about the possibility of acquiring the autonomous country.

Carter released the following statement: "America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland."

Yes, Trump plans on renaming Greenland 'Red, White and Blueland'... I'm not sure how its natives would feel about the name change.

He continued: "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.”

The bill introduced by Carter has been referred to the committee.

"To authorize the President to enter into negotiations to acquire Greenland and to rename Greenland as 'Red, White, and Blueland,'" it read.

Trump has previously stated that those who call the world's largest island home, its 57,000 residents, wish to be part of the US.

Speaking to reporters last month, he doubled down with some blunt remarks: "I think we're going to have it.

"I think the people want to be with us.

"I don't really know what claim Denmark has to it, but it would be a very unfriendly act if they didn't allow that to happen because it's for the protection of the free world."

He continued: "I think Greenland we'll get because it has to do with freedom of the world.

"It has nothing to do with the United States other than that we're the one that can provide the freedom. They can't."
