Plain Language Summary

# Hands Off Greenland Act Summary **What the bill would do:** The Hands Off Greenland Act is legislation introduced to protect Greenland's sovereignty and independence. While specific details aren't provided in the available information, bills with this title typically aim to prevent foreign acquisition or control of Greenland, likely in response to statements by U.S. political figures about the possibility of the United States purchasing or annexing the territory. **Who it affects:** The bill primarily affects U.S. foreign policy toward Greenland and Denmark (which currently has sovereignty over Greenland).

It could also have implications for international relations and any discussions about territorial expansion or acquisition. **Current status:** As of the available information, HR 7192 remains in committee, meaning it has not advanced to a full House vote. The bill was introduced by Representative Brad Sherman, a Democrat from California, during the 119th Congress. *Note: Full legislative text details were not available in the provided information.
