According to Agence France-Presse on September 5, European Commission President von der Leyen will arrive in Nuuk on the 6th to begin a two-day visit aimed at reaffirming support for Greenland, the autonomous territory of Denmark coveted by the US. She plans to sign a joint declaration between the European Union and Greenland on the 7th. “Greenland is becoming increasingly important to the EU, not only because it is a gateway to the Arctic, but also because of its geopolitical position, key raw materials, and role in Arctic security.” Mark Jacobson, a researcher at the Royal Danish Defence Academy, explained.
