EU boosts partnership with Greenland
The European Commission intends to deepen cooperation with Greenland to strengthen their partnership, amid efforts led by the United States under Trump to gain control of the island's rich natural resources. During the visit of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to the island, a new declaration is scheduled to be signed, along with investments of hundreds of millions to bolster relations. Although Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark and has autonomous governance, it is not a member of the European Union. The visit comes at a time of rising American pressure on Denmark to take control of the island, driven by security concerns and its reserves of strategic raw materials. Trump is seeking to expand U.S. influence in the region, amidst uncertainty regarding his commitment to international security agreements for the protection of the island.
