Greenland's parliament has enacted a bill prohibiting political parties from receiving foreign or anonymous contributions, citing the need to safeguard political integrity in light of U.S. interest in acquiring the territory. This legislation responds to President Trump's earlier expressed desires regarding Greenland's strategic value. The legal officer mentioned that the bill serves as a preventative measure against potential foreign influence, especially since funding for political parties is predominantly public. The new regulation also limits how much domestic contributions a party can receive.
"The bill must be seen in light of the geopolitical interests in Greenland and the current situation where representatives of an allied great power have expressed interest in taking over and controlling Greenland."
"Before taking office for his second term on Jan. 20, Trump said he would not rule out the use of military force to seize control of Greenland, calling it vital to U.S. national security."
