How could the current push for Greenland’s independence change things?
An independence movement has recently gained traction in Greenland, boosted by revelations of misconduct by Danish authorities during the previous century, including an involuntary birth control campaign imposed on Greenlandic women in the 1960s and 70s.
Under a 2009 agreement with Denmark, Greenland can hold an independence referendum, a prospect the prime minister Múte Egede hinted at during his new year address last Friday.
"The history and current conditions have shown that our cooperation with the Kingdom of Denmark has not succeeded in creating full equality," Egede said.
While it is currently unclear whether an independent Greenland may seek NATO membership, many experts point towards the example of Iceland, which became a NATO member after gaining independence from Denmark.
The potential economic fallout makes independence less attractive for some - the territory remains deeply reliant on Danish government funding, which amounts to some €600 million per year.
But the US could see an opportunity to offer economic support to an independent Greenland in exchange for more influence over the territory.
...600 million absolute chicken feed to the US they could up this ten fold and not even notice it
They love the convicted felon and rapist. Very weird...One of Trumps poorly educated followers might think otherwise
I doubt they'd succumb to the economic inducements offered by America at the expense of their autonomy - like Puerto Rico, they'd maintain their freedom to develop the country themselves, offering investment opportunities for a price. Greenland has an abundance of rare earth minerals, second only to China, i think, which is why America wants the territory to exploit the wealth and cut China's market share.
Probably by getting them onside, not by threatening to invade them. There is a reason why more of the world are turning away from Uncle Sam.China's already bought heavily into Greenland. Rich in minerals and strategically positioned to offer China and Russia a military advantage.
If you thought USA might invade by force, who would you turn to for support ?China's already bought heavily into Greenland. Rich in minerals and strategically positioned to offer China and Russia a military advantage.
No hope of that...Let's hope trump backs off and just starts common sense talking, no gun to the head stuff
