My trip was great except I could not get Fox News there, so, that was the only disappointing part, Landry told Fox and Friends's Charlie Hurt. But other than that, it was a great trip. Really met a lot of different people, spoke to people on the street, visited with people in their homes. Found a lot of commonality between the Inuit and Greenland people and the Cajun culture down in Louisiana.

“I think it's time for the US to put its footprint back on Greenland, the US envoy Jeff Landry told Agence France-Presse, adding Greenland needs the US. I think that you're seeing the president talk about increasing national security operations and repopulating certain bases in Greenland, he said.”

"New York isn't real. This is real," says Jon Krogh, emphasizing the contrast between urban life and the rawness of nature in Greenland. He believes that city life is a fantasy, where people work for money that doesn't exist outside their imaginations. The experience at Nomad Greenland aims to reconnect visitors with the reality of the natural world.

I want to make myself as obsolete as possible. If I do my job properly, there will soon be no need for it. The primary objective is: I will have succeeded if I am no longer relevant.

Once upon a time, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham (R) was considered one of the most extreme anti-abortion Republicans and one of the worst people, in general. He hasn't changed, but so many other GOP-ers are now consistently outshining him in terms of being a huge piece of shit-and Jezebel really hasn't paid much attention to him lately. But this week, he threw an embarrassing, sexist fit at the Munich Security Conference, over Trump not being allowed to purchase Greenland. Covering him almost felt like a return to a simpler, less fascist time. If there ever really was such a thing.

"That will be 'no thanks' from us," Jens-Frederik Nielsen, the Greenlandic prime minister, wrote on his Facebook page on Sunday. "President Trump's idea to send a US hospital ship here to Greenland has been duly noted. But we have a public health system where care is free for citizens," he said. Frederiksen said she was "happy to live in a country where there is free and equal access to health for all. Where it's not insurances and wealth that determine whether you get proper treatment."

Donald Trump's second presidency has been defined by lawless, fascist actions at home and imperial ambitions and performative militarism abroad. He has threatened scores of countries while depicting Canada and Greenland as part of the U.S. His obsession with Greenland has caused severe strains between Europe and the United States and even prompted several European nations to send troops to one of the world's largest islands, which has a population of less than 60,000.

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.

It also echoed a longstanding pattern by colonial powers to apply their own ideas of land ownership to places that were already inhabited, often overlooking established local systems. Greenland's Inuit hold land to be shared collectively, rather than privately owned, an idea that fundamentally conflicts with Trump's desire to buy or otherwise acquire the country. Historically, in many Indigenous societies, people saw themselves as stewards of the land, managing it through seasonal hunting and harvesting, safeguarding water sources and maintaining ancestral sites.

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.
