Greenland is pushing to break free from Denmark. Many Greenlanders want independence. But Denmark’s leaders are holding them back. The U.S. could step in to help Greenland thrive. That’s the message from conservatives like former Trump ambassador Carla Sands. She says Denmark is blocking progress. Greenland deserves freedom, she argues.
Vice President J.D. Vance and his wife Usha recently visited Greenland. They toured military sites and cultural events. This trip showed America’s strong interest in the region. President Trump has called Greenland a key strategic partner. He believes the U.S. should guide Greenland’s future, not Denmark.
Denmark gives Greenland money every year. But Greenland wants control of its own resources. Their economy depends on fishing and mining. With American investment, Greenland could build roads and create jobs. The U.S. has agreements with small nations before. These deals protect them and boost their economies. Greenland could get the same deal.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen claims Greenland isn’t being bullied. Conservatives say that’s fake news. Greenlanders rejected Denmark’s control before. They left the European Union years ago. Now they want full independence. But Denmark won’t let them go easily.
Carla Sands says Denmark’s leaders are selfish. They stopped Greenland from working with Trump. This cost Greenland money and opportunities. Under Trump, America offers trade without woke rules like DEI. Greenland could grow faster with U.S. help.
Greenland’s election this year will focus on independence. Polls show most people support it. But they worry about losing Danish money. America could replace those funds. Trump has a history of making smart deals. His team would secure Greenland’s future.
Conservatives say Denmark is weak on China. China is investing in Greenland’s mines. This threatens America’s security. Letting China in shows Denmark doesn’t care. The U.S. would protect Greenland from foreign threats. Greenland’s resources should benefit its people, not China.
Carl Higbie says Greenland’s choice is clear. Stick with failing Denmark or join America’s winning team. The U.S. respects hard work and freedom. Under Trump, Greenland would gain independence, security, and prosperity. It’s time to put America first—and Greenland too.
