Greenland’s political debate over its future has intensified as a leading opposition figure calls for direct talks with Washington, bypassing Denmark. Naleraq party leader Pele Broberg said Greenland should engage the U.S. government directly amid renewed interest from President Donald Trump in bringing the Arctic island under U.S. control. While Greenland is autonomous, Denmark still oversees defence and foreign affairs, limiting such talks. Naleraq, a strong pro-independence force, argues Denmark is antagonising both sides and suggests a future defence or “free association” deal with the U.S. The remarks highlight growing tensions over sovereignty, independence, and Arctic geopolitics.
