Forget it, Trump: Greenland doesn’t want to be ruled by the US – or Denmark | Aka Hansen
Donald Trump Jr came here, but I sometimes wonder if the world knows anything about us. Our dream is independence
The news that Donald Trump Jr was about to visit Nuuk felt like a flashback to almost six years ago, when his father, Donald Trump, famously floated the idea of buying Greenland. At the time, I had just moved back to Nuuk after finishing film school in Denmark. I remember working on the production of a segment for a travel series by the comedian Conan O’Brien. He came to Nuuk to film an episode poking fun at the idea of Trump buying us.
This time, there’s no late-night comedian in sight, and the next president of the United States has just refused to rule out using military force to take control of my country. Instead of poking fun at the latest US intervention, I found myself in my kitchen with four other women, planning a demonstration against Denmark’s practice of removing Inuit children from their families.
