EU to give Greenland a cash boost amid Trump annexation drive
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is visiting Greenland in a show of support for the territory, which has rebuffed Trump's campaign to annex it.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is set to announce increased European Union investments in Greenland and strengthened political bonds during her two-day visit to the Danish Arctic territory on Monday. The United States President Donald Trump has been adamant that Greenland, the world's largest island, should be under American jurisdiction.
Von der Leyen's arrival in Greenland on Sunday is a display of support for both Greenland's and Denmark's governments, who have firmly rejected Trump's attempts to annex the island. The EU's executive body leader is anticipated to unveil funding plans for various sectors in Greenland, including critical minerals, satellite communications, and renewable energy.
