Qupanuk Olsen is Greenland's most popular influencer. Her videos promote life on the Arctic island by sharing local food, culture, language and traditions. But in recent weeks, comments under her posts have become far more political. "I felt like I couldn't escape it," says former mining engineer. Nearly 90% of Greenland's population of 57,000 are Inuits, according to a survey. Inuit Circumpolar Council founded in 1977 promote and celebrate unity of 180,000 Inuits. Olsen hopes Trump's keen interest in Greenland will spur Denmark to appreciate the value of the island. Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has warned Trump that it is up to Greenlander to decide its own future. The island is one of 13 Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) associated with the EU. This means that Greenlanders have EU citizenship. A history of colonisation as well as a list of scandals breed many greenlanders' resentment towards Denmark. One such scandal was the forced fitting of contraceptive coils (IUDs) on 4,500 young Inuit women. Greenland passed a law banning mining uranium as part of its focus on tackling climate change. In 2021, one Chinese-linked Australian mining company is reportedly suing greenland for $11.5 billion (€11.2 billion) Fishing represented roughly 95% of Greenlland's total exports in 2021. Mr. Egede has condemned Trump's desire to acquire the island. Chemnitz believes that Europe can play a bigger role in Greenland. Europe has an office in Nuuk but it would make sense to get Ursula Von der Leyen to come again. European leaders have strongly condemned Trump's comments on Greenlander.

Denmark or its Royal Family is technically the current owner. You can sweeten the pot by giving residents a lump sum or UBI, but a territory, vs a nation, has an owner.
