Will Trump Be a Footnote or the President Who Changed the Course of the World?

Denmark's relationship with the USA is under pressure. What does it mean for Danish foreign policy, and is decades of work building trust and cooperation with the USA now wasted? And how should Denmark defend Greenland's interests while the great powers' struggle for the Arctic intensifies?

Denmark's alliance with the USA has been a cornerstone of Danish foreign policy for decades. Donald Trump's desire to own Greenland has shaken both the island and the motherland, and the USA's interest in the realm is more about strategic locations and resources than genuine partnership. This raises questions not only about Greenland's future, but also about Denmark's role in a world order that is becoming increasingly unpredictable.
