Greenland was caught between the US, Denmark and Independence in the election

Greenlanders are heading to elections on Tuesday at the main parliamentary elections, which are determined by many years of discussion about independence from the control of Denmark – and the ambitions of US President Donald Trump take on the island “One way or another.”

Four of the five largest political parties Arctic support independence and Last voter poll in January Suggested about the Independent Inuit Party ATAQatigiit can retain power in the 31st Parliament, Inacsartt, and probably and probably Then, in the second place, his former SIUMUT coalition partner.

Both parties say they want to hold a referendum on political and economic independence from Denmark, although none of them provided for precise terms.

Denmark controls the defense and foreign policy of Greenland, but leaves the internal issues of the Greenland government. Copenhagen provides an annual grant to the island of approximately $ 511 million, which accounts for about 20%GDP Greenland, and more than half the state budget, reports Data of the International Trade Administration.

Copenhagen has repeatedly insisted that Greenland is “not for sale” and that he will remain part of his kingdom, but he is wary of the impulse of independence and quietly before the election, with caution, supposedly dictated as the islanders must vote.

Undoubtedly, the design of Trump on the island and the wealth of minerals rare land caused anxiety in Denmark. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederixen called this idea “inappropriate” when Trump first substantiated it in 2019.

Such sentiments were confirmed by Greenland after Trump’s comments in December, when the US leader said that Greenland’s “ownership” was important for America’s economic and national security. Prime Minister of Greenland Mute Eged answers that “we are not sold and we will not be sold” and “Greenland belongs to Greenland people.”

Last week, he doubled in this post, saying that “Coloolite Nunaat (Greenland in Greenland) is inh.”

“We do not want to be Americans or Danes; we are a cololarite. Americans and their leader must understand it. We are not sold and cannot simply be accepted. Our future will be resolved by us in Greenland,” – “” he said on Facebook.

It is apparently not registered by Greenland and the refusal of Denmark from its achievements, Trump has repeatedly returned to the topic of the US claim. He also refused to exclude hostilities to confiscate a huge, icy territory located geographically closer to the US than to Denmark.

Last week Trump said in his joint address to Congress that the US consider control over Greenland ‘one way or another“He revived this topic on Sunday, commenting on that” we persistently support the right of Greenland people to determine our own future. “

“We will continue to keep you safe, like the Second World War. We are ready to invest billions to create new jobs and make you rich – and, if you choose, we welcome you to become part of the greatest nation anywhere in the world, US America” Trump posted on the social media platform.

A poll about judgment carried out in January by a Verian questionnaire For the Berlingske newspaper, it found that 85% of the Greenlanders did not want their country to leave Denmark and become part of the United States, only 6% stated that they supported such a move.

However, in the same poll, it was found that most 56% of the Greenlanders would vote for independence if the referendum was held today, 28% against and 17% uncertain.

Rasmus Jales, Conservative Legist in Denmark and Chairman of Dania DebalasThe Committee E commented on Monday that the Northern Nation did not worry too much that the Greenlanders would bring to the US, regardless of the results of the vote on Tuesday.

“No Greenland candidate wants to join the US. So, it will never be the result of the election. It cannot be fallen in this direction,” Jacob on the Social Media X. X commented.

“A thorough poll of one month ago showed that only 6% angen -aggressions want to join the United States, while 85% dismiss the idea. The statement that Greenland wants to join the United States is fully.“

Jacob insisted that Greenland “has full rights in Denmark” and a parliamentary office, while he claimed that “in the US, Greenland would be a foreign territory without the right to vote and no influence.

Analysts say Trump goes to Greenland’s courtship wrong, and instead it is necessary to pay attention to the deepening of economic and geopolitical ties with the island, not to chase expensive “possession”.

“One thing is clear: Greenland residents are little interested in what anyone is,” ATANDSEN, an employee of the European, Russia and Eurasia program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) (CSIS) said in a recent analysis.

“The Danish Government in Copenhagen also has no appetite for the Sales of Greenland because it is likely to violate the international law and the right of Greenland to self-determination,” he added.

Svendson claimed that instead of pursuing “probable efforts to acquire Greenland against its will”, the United States is better serving, remaining a course and finding economically effective ways to strengthen ties with the territory.

According to him, this included the beds “his commitment to forums and mechanisms that contribute to the government’s connection with the Government from Greenland,” as well as its small packages of assistance for the development of the Greenland mining sector, as well as its education and tourism.

Expanding this interaction strategy, the US can “gain a significant benefit by handing a great bill that manages the island to Denmark,” he said, thus, the status -Kwa thus allows Washington to “have its own pie and also eat it.”
