Greenland: Message to Trump: EU expands cooperation with the island
The EU wants to invest another €200 million in Greenland by the end of 2027. This also sends a signal against ongoing US claims to control the island. The question now is whether this will help.
The EU is expanding its cooperation with Greenland, despite US President Donald Trump's claims of control. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen signed a declaration to deepen economic and political ties between the EU and Greenland during a visit to the Arctic island. A new €200 million investment package was announced, to be invested this year and next, focusing on critical raw materials, secure internet connections, and administrative capacity building.
The EU and Greenland will also collaborate on cybersecurity, critical infrastructure protection, and combating hybrid threats. Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen stated that both Greenland and the EU need each other.
