WASHINGTON -- The National Republican Congressional Committee, which is charged with helping elect and re-elect Republicans in the House, is fundraising with shirts that promote President Donald Trump’s desire to buy Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark.

The limited-edition T-shirt features a map of the United States, showing Greenland as of part of the U.S., patterned with the American flag.

The caption supporting the promotion reads, "Support President Trump and his efforts to help America grow!”

As of Thursday evening, the NRCC was providing the shirts to anyone who donated $25 or more.
