U.S. officials have long expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, with recent actions by President Trump revisiting this desire. Trump's announcement of a high-profile visit to Greenland has met with backlash, as Greenlanders view it as aggressive, especially in light of their colonial history. The Greenlandic government is now seeking support from Europe, indicating a shift from previous apprehensiveness to active resistance. The U.S. visit, rather than fostering goodwill, risks solidifying ties between Greenland and Denmark, complicating future diplomatic relations and business opportunities with the U.S.
Instead of winning the hearts and minds of Greenland's 56,000 people, the move, coupled with Mr. Trump's recent talk of how he will get it, one way or the other, is pushing Greenland further away.
This offensive pushes Greenland further away from the U.S., even though a year ago, all parties in Greenland were looking forward to more business with the Americans.
