Local citizens have the right to hold a referendum and decide for themselves whether to completely secede from Denmark.
The relationship between the two is actually similar to that between India and the Commonwealth, and there is no strong binding relationship between them.
Greenland at this time, like Iceland which gained independence in 1944, was also nominally a Danish territory and enjoyed the same autonomy.
Whether it is establishing an independent country or joining another country, the greatest initiative is still in its own hands.
Let’s look at the United States.
Referring to the history of Hawaii's annexation to the United States, it was done through a joint resolution of Congress, which only required majority approval.
And currently, the Republicans have an advantage in both houses of the U.S. Congress…
Therefore, as long as both sides are in agreement, it is theoretically feasible for Greenland to join the United States.
It's just that it has a bad reputation.
And at present, Trump, representing the United States, is absolutely willing.
The only question remains: Will the residents of Greenland be willing?
although the Inuit are small in number, they have a very strong national consciousness and a strong sense of identity with their own culture, history and traditions.
They are very disgusted by outsiders calling them "Eskimos", which means "people who eat raw meat"; and "Inuit" is their self-proclaimed name, which means "human beings".
At least the Inuit in Greenland consider Danes to be Danes engineer data and Greenlanders to be Greenlanders.
By the same token, they don’t even accept the Danes, with whom they have lived for hundreds of years, so why should they accept the Americans?
Even if you give money.
Therefore, the success rates of the three solutions mentioned at the beginning of the article may not be as high as imagined.
This may also be the reason why Greenland suddenly said that "it does not want to be Danish, nor does it want to be American."
This sentence should have two meanings.
Or maybe you just want to be independent.
Otherwise, you have to pay more.
In this way, it seems that we have returned to the familiar script.
There is a fact that few people know
