As Trump’s threat grows, Greenlanders plot exit plan: ‘I’m thinking about where to hide’

AI Summary

short article 1 min

Following Donald Trump's expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, some residents are contemplating how they would react to a potential U.S. invasion. The possibility, driven by Greenland's rich resources and strategic Arctic location, has prompted residents in Nuuk, the capital, to consider options they previously wouldn't have. While not panicking, Greenlanders like Ulrikke Andersen are making plans to flee with their families if necessary. Others, such as student Nuunu Binzer, are considering where to hide and what supplies to stockpile. These preparations reflect a growing concern among some Greenlanders about the potential consequences of Trump's pursuit of the island.
