"During a panel at the World Economic Formum's America House in the Swiss ski resort on Wednesday, the Reform UK leader said he had no doubt that the world would be safer if a strong America was in Greenland because of the geopolitics of the High North, because of the retreating ice caps and because of the continued expansionism of Russian icebreakers, of Chinese investment."
"Farage insisted that while he agreed strategically with Trump he believed in nation states not globalist structures. [I]f you believe in the nation state and not globalist structures, you believe in sovereignty, he said. And if you believe in sovereignty, you believe in the principle of national self-determination. He added: You must respect the rights and views of the Greenlanders, because that is what national self-determination is, and that's a key part."
A proposal for US control of Greenland is presented as a means to enhance global security, citing High North geopolitics, retreating ice caps, and increased Russian and Chinese activity. Strategic threats highlighted include Russian icebreaker expansion and growing Chinese investment in the region. The principle of national sovereignty and self-determination is emphasized, with explicit insistence on respecting the rights and views of Greenlanders. Opposition to globalist institutions is expressed alongside support for nation-state governance. Rising support for a new reform party is linked to perceived moral and economic decline in Britain and public disenchantment with established parties.
