Greenland is having a moment in the international spotlight. U.S. President Donald Trump has been maneuvering to gain control of the mineral-rich Arctic territory that most people know only as a huge icy island at the top of the world.

U.S. President Donald Trump first suggested buying Greenland in 2019. People thought it was a joke at the time. But no one is laughing now.

Most of the 56,000 people who live on the island don’t want to be under the control of Denmark or President Trump – but we must seek consensus and plan carefully before any referendum, writes Aka Hansen.

Denmark's self-governing territory of Greenland, which votes Tuesday in legislative elections, has been propelled into the political spotlight because of its natural resources and strategic geographic location.

The fresh funds will enable Nuuk to expand its product portfolio, covering home environment solutions, vacuum cleaners, and meal preparation appliances. The company also plans to venture into smart IoT devices and high-performance home solutions.

In his first term in office, Trump began to talk about acquiring Greenland from Denmark, a longtime U.S. ally. Back in 2019, most dismissed it.

As Greenland's general election approaches, a candidate campaigns for access to better healthcare on the vast island, recounting his personal journey of beating cancer after having to travel to Denmark from a remote town to undergo treatment.

NUUK, Greenland — About 90% of the 57,000 Greenlanders identify as Inuit and the vast majority of them belong to the Lutheran Church today, more than 300 years after a Danish missionary brought that branch of Christianity to the world’s largest island.

There is excitement about the potentially lucrative resources scattered around the island, especially the rare earths. But extreme weather, fired-up environmentalists and other factors have tempered hopes of a bonanza.
