Iceland revives EU debate after Trump's Greenland threats
Los islandeses votan el 29 de agosto si su país debe intentar por segunda vez la adhesión al bloque. Leer
Icelanders will vote on August 29 on whether to restart EU membership talks. The debate has gained momentum after US President Donald Trump threatened to annex Greenland and referred to Iceland as "that island". The country's Foreign Minister, Katrín Gunnarsdóttir, believes Iceland should consider "another path" with the EU, citing a "historic moment".
However, many Icelanders remain skeptical, citing concerns over sovereignty and the country's fishing industry, which accounts for nearly 40% of its exports. A recent survey showed a small majority of Icelanders support reopening accession talks.
