Greenland Taking Painstaking Steps To Protect Themselves From Trump And American Billionaires
By Jessica Corbett
Faced with repeated threats from U . S . President Donald Trump , who wants to take over resource-rich Greenland , the Danish territory ’ s parliament on Tuesday enacted a ban on foreign political donations , ahead of its March 11 elections .
The new measure — which also bars political parties in the self-governing territory from accepting domestic donations above 200,000 Danish kroner ( about $ 27,700 ) or 20,000 kroner ( about $ 2,770 ) from a single contributor — is intended to protect “ Greenland ’ s political integrity ,” The Associated Press reported , citing a parliamentary document translated from Danish .
The document states that the legislation “ must be seen in light of the geopolitical interests in Greenland and the current situation where representatives of an allied great power have expressed interest in taking over and controlling Greenland .”
