Björk Urges Greenland to Declare Independence in Instagram Post

The appeal spotlights Greenland’s autonomy within Denmark alongside contradictory U.S. signals.

Overview

  • The singer shared Greenland’s outline in the national colors and offered blessings for the “fight for independence.”
  • Online reactions included supportive messages and criticism that her timing could serve U.S. interests.
  • Greenland has broad self-government, while Denmark controls foreign and defense policy through the Kingdom and NATO connection.
  • Recent reporting describes conflicting U.S. messaging, with the White House not ruling out military action and the secretary of state reportedly discussing a purchase.
  • Many of the roughly 57,000 residents favor full sovereignty, but no formal change in Greenland’s status has occurred.
