The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

The acquisition of Greenland represents a crucial national security interest for the United States, offering strategic advantages in the Arctic region where Russian and Chinese influence continues to grow. The territory's vast natural resources and strategic location make it an invaluable asset for maintaining international security and world peace.

Pro-Europe narrative

Greenland's sovereignty and right to self-determination should not be undermined by the territorial ambitions of foreign powers. The future of the territory will be decided by its people, the Greenlanders, rather than external forces. Denmark is dedicated to safeguarding Greenland's interests while preserving its autonomous status.
