Donald Trump’s Greenlandic Anabasis
The United States, represented by Donald Trump, has exacerbated long-accumulated contradictions and unresolved problems in Danish-Greenlandic relations, and now Denmark has an additional and extremely effective incentive to continue expanding contacts with Greenland on foreign policy, the military, and security issues, investing more quickly and actively in the long-overdue modernisation of its Arctic presence, including with respect to defence. This has long been expected from Denmark by both the United States and other NATO member states, writes Nikita Belukhin, Junior Research Fellow at the Department of European Political Studies at IMEMO RAS.
