Europe Extends a Hand to Greenland, Von der Leyen Brings Millions

NOS6 September · 09:102 weeks ago

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen began a two-day visit to Nuuk on 2026-09-06, announcing a €200 million EU investment in Greenland’s raw materials industry, renewable energy, and governance. This adds to €225 million already allocated for 2021-2027. The EU seeks closer ties as the US, under President Trump, increases pressure on Greenland for strategic reasons, including military threats and resource interests. Greenland, autonomous within Denmark, maintains its stance: 'We're not for sale, but open for business.'
