Greenland Passes Foreign Donation Ban as U.S. Interest Intensifies

Amid renewed U.S. interest in acquiring Greenland, the island's parliament enacts a law to safeguard political integrity and calls for snap elections in March.

Greenland's parliament approved a law banning foreign and anonymous political donations to protect the island's political integrity from external influence.
The legislation comes as U.S. President Donald Trump reiterates his desire to acquire Greenland, citing its strategic and resource-rich value.
Greenlandic Prime Minister Múte Egede has called for a snap election on March 11, emphasizing the need for unity during this unprecedented period of geopolitical tension.
Greenland remains an autonomous territory of Denmark, which has repeatedly stated that the island is not for sale, while Greenlandic leaders emphasize their preference for independence over U.S. or Danish control.
The island's strategic location, rare-earth resources, and U.S. military presence at Thule Air Base have heightened international interest in Greenland's future.
