‘Historic moment’: Greenland steps into global spotlight ahead of election
Al JazeeraThe desire for independence from Denmark grows while most reject US proposals to acquire the icy island. Nuuk, Greenland – Greenland’s most popular social media influencer announced her political bid just weeks ahead of Tuesday’s elections as she felt the winds of change blowing across the vast Arctic island. Greenland has captured the world’s attention since United States President Donald Trump doubled down on his intentions to absorb the island, an uncomfortable prospect that has renewed a long-running debate over independence from Denmark. Our relationships with other countries cannot happen solely through Denmark,” said Mute B Egede, Greenland’s premier and leader of the pro-independence democratic socialist Inuit Ataqatigiit party, in his New Year’s speech. Denmark has not done what they promised regarding military build-up, and we can’t solely rely on Europe any more.” Analysts believe Trump’s administration views Greenland, which has immense untapped resources such as rare-earth minerals, oil and gas, as a strategic asset – a key Arctic territory as geopolitical tensions between China, Russia and the US are heating up.
