COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AN) – Greenland has a Danish yoke, a growing independence movement, and a place at the table among international organizations – all factors that could thwart any U.S. expansionism.
Next month's general election and ban on foreign and anonymous political funding in Greenland – to which Denmark takes a hands-off approach but keeps a cautious eye on – reflect deep concerns about U.S. President Donald Trump's interest in the semiautonomous Danish territory. Trump says Greenland is vital to U.S. security and Denmark should hand it over so it's better protected against Russian and Chinese military vessels.
