EU to Boost Greenland Investment Amid Trump Annexation Claims European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is preparing to announce increased EU investment in Greenland, sending a strong message to Washington: Greenland is not up for grabs.
The visit includes plans to boost investments in critical minerals, satellite communications, and renewable energy, marking a significant shift in the Arctic's geopolitical landscape.
The timing of von der Leyen's trip couldn't be more opportune. Donald Trump's repeated claims that the US should annex Greenland have sparked a crisis in transatlantic relations and exposed deep divisions within NATO.
