Greenland is home to 56,000 people, with 20,000 in the capital, the rest scattered in coastal hamlets.

Greenland is like an extreme Alaska , bigger, emptier and more remote than Alaska .

Greenland has limited self-rule but is also a welfare state.

As the Arctic warms, a new “ Great Game ” competition is afoot among superpowers.

Greenland has been crawling with journos doing TV stand-ups against a frozen backdrop.

Trump declined to say at his last news conference whether he would rule out using military or economic force to take control of Greenland or the Panama Canal .

Danish officials have responded to Trump by emphasizing that Greenland will make its own decisions.

Greenland ’s prime minister, Múte Egede , said last week , “It is now time to take the next step for our country to remove the obstacles to cooperation — which we can describe as the shackles of the colonial era — and move on” He suggested he might push for an independence referendum in an upcoming parliamentary election.
