The United States has been trying to buy Greenland for centuries .
The island is home to 56,000 people and holds vast oil and mineral reserves.
The most recent attempt at grabbing Greenland came in President Donald Trump ’s first term in office.
A friend of Trump 's former business partner, Ronald Lauder , reportedly pitched him the idea.
A bill sponsored by Rep. Mike Rulli and Rep. Andy Ogles would buy Greenland in 2022 .
The bill would authorize the President to enter negotiations with the King of Denmark over the territory.
Bolton , who resigned from his post in January , is pushing the whole Greenland thing back into the mainstream.
