Foreigners are welcome to visit, but only just to visit:

Interestingly that the ariport at Nuuk has been upgraded. United is giong to start offering direct flights to Greenland from the US east coast.

If true, Trump is getting way out of line.
The officials said the call went badly, and that Trump was aggressive and confrontational when told the island was not for sale.
“It was horrendous,” said one of the officials.
“He was very firm. It was a cold shower. Before, it was hard to take it seriously. But I do think it is serious, and potentially very dangerous,” said another.
Though Frederiksen reportedly told Trump he couldn’t annex Greenland, she did say she was up for cooperating on establishing more military bases and critical mineral mining.

Oh no, there is a lot there. Oil, lithium, nickel, copper… What isn’t there is fauna such as speckled salamanders that would throw animal protection groups into a tizzy…

Lawmakers in Greenland on Tuesday, Feb. 4, seemed to be safeguarding against U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to acquire the island territory, officially owned by Denmark. Greenland’s parliament passed a measure that bans political donations from foreign or anonymous contributors.

Who the hell said anything about political donations?
“Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

A party that favors a gradual path to Greenland’s independence from Denmark won a surprise victory in parliamentary elections, held in the shadow of U.S. President Donald Trump’s stated goal of taking control of the island.
The center-right Demokraatit Party has pushed back against Trump’s rhetoric, saying it is for Greenlanders to decide the future of the strategically important territory, which holds large reserves of the rare earth minerals needed to make everything from mobile phones to renewable energy technology. The Arctic island is also home to a U.S. air base and straddles strategic air and sea routes in the North Atlantic.
