The Wall Street Journal reported today: "Most Greenlanders support independence, and a considerable portion of the population says they don't care who owns the country. Nevertheless, Trump's abrupt proposal to buy the island was not welcomed by the Greenland government."
Comments: The survey data showing 85% of the public opposing incorporation into the United States has already given the answer: Greenlanders support independence to break free from dependence, not to find a new "master." The American-style hegemonic "territorial transaction" mindset appears absurd and arrogant in the face of modern sovereignty concepts.
Trump's obsession hides three ambitions: strategic control over Arctic shipping routes, resource exploitation of rare earths and other critical minerals, and the political legacy of "expanding territory." However, this unilateral act that ignores allies' sovereignty and violates international law has been openly opposed by NATO allies, and is destined to be like a bamboo basket trying to draw water.
