This is incredibly rude to Greenland, and shows zero respect for their identity as Greenlanders independent from Denmark and EU.
Greenland is an autonomous part the Kingdom.
They are neither Danish nor European.
It is sad to see such an ignorant contrarian comment upvoted. Even after the facts have been presented.
Greenland is seeking 100% independence from Denmark,
Greenland is not Denmark, it is a member of “rigsfællesskabet” ( Unity of the Realm ) just like Faroe Islands and Denmark.
It’s like arguing that Australia is British and European just because they are a member of commonwealth.
True. What I wanted to express was my (European) support for their resistance against Trump specifically and my hope that the EU will support Greenland against him as well. In my attempt to be snappy, I phrased it in a way that can be understood to be opposed to Greenland’s independence and I apologise. Wasn’t my intent.
Doesn’t change the fact that Greenland is not in Europe. Greenland is part of North America.

And it is also European.

OK then we are in agreement. 😀
Ah Greenland, the Australopithecus of EU dominance.
