They don't fly the flag of Greenland at the Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee only recognises independent sovereign states, and, as all the world, even the most distant corners of the US, now knows, Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. But the flag, which is known as the Erfalasorput, was there in the grandstands at the Anterselva Biathlon Arena all the same, even if it wasn't flying from rooftops above it.

Greenland is currently making headlines, much to the chagrin of Greenlanders. U.S. President Donald Trump's ambition to seize this island, an autonomous territory of Denmark, a NATO founding member, has turned global attention to a corner of the planet they probably hadn't considered before, or to Wikipedia or AI tools, to find out who lives on that enormous white patch in a corner of the American continent, and how.

Raising a flag at our capital cultural centre, the flag of a military superpower that for weeks has been implying military force against our country, is not a joke. It is not funny. It is immensely harmful, she said in a statement. Olsen said Greenlanders, particularly children, were worried and afraid about the current situation. When you amplify those fears for content, clicks or laughs, you are not being bold or creative.

President Donald Trump and NATO temporarily defused a crisis over his attempt to take over Greenland, but details over the U.S. role on the semiautonomous Danish island could reignite tensions. In an interview with the New York Post, Trump said the U.S. will gain sovereignty over parts of Greenland that host American military bases-and take ownership of that land. "Yeah," he told the Post. "We'll have everything we want. We have some interesting talks going on."

"a rupture in the world order."

Its ancient bedrock dates back four billion years or more, metamorphic rocks were transformed by volcanic activity that has concentrated metal ores in southern Greenland, and sedimentary rocks in northern areas are rich in lead and zinc. Almost half the periodic table can be found in a large, underexplored landmass like Greenland with such a complex geological history, says Diogo Rosa, an economic geologist at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland.

U.S. President Donald Trump, with his lust for Greenland and hectoring of Europe, thinks the world is at his mercy,and thatthe U.S. is invincible. He's right on the first point. But he discovered this week that he's wrong about the second one. In Davos at the World Economic Forum, Trump climbed down on his Greenland threats after his actions caused chaos in the markets.

President Donald Trump's ambition to take over Greenland may be on ice for now, but supporters of the Danish territory won't soon forget the affair. In particular, Jesper Tønnesen, the Copenhagen shop owner whose MAGA parody hat went viral, told Business Insider he'll continue to raise support for Greenland's right to self-determination. "You don't feel that you have any promises, because it can change again," he said of Trump's proposed deal with Denmark.
