Greenland Asserts Cultural Independence Amid U.S. Interest

Greenland, home to about 57,000 people, is experiencing a cultural revival and renewed debate over independence as the United States under President Donald Trump has signaled renewed interest in the island, including offers such as sending a hospital ship. Surveys show 84% support independence, yet most expect autonomy to take 10–20 years and worry about losing Danish subsidies, highlighting stakes around Arctic resources and indigenous governance.
