Greenland has turned into a geopolitical hot spot.

Norway has announced plans to open a Consulate in the Greenland capital of Nuuk. The Scandinavians are trying to prepare themselves for the inevitable offensive from the United States, which sees the Arctic Island as a big Geopolitical weak spot in our continent.

The US 2025 National Security Strategy touts that “the United States has achieved success in rolling back outside influence in the Western Hemisphere by demonstrating, with specificity, how many hidden costs—in espionage, cybersecurity, debt-traps, and other ways—are embedded in allegedly ‘low cost’ foreign assistance. We should accelerate these efforts, including by utilizing U.S. leverage in finance and technology to induce countries to reject such assistance.”

We also find this interesting excerpt: “We want to ensure that the Western Hemisphere remains reasonably stable and well-governed enough to prevent and discourage mass migration to the United States; we want a Hemisphere whose governments cooperate with us against narco-terrorists, cartels, and other transnational criminal organizations; we want a Hemisphere that remains free of hostile foreign incursion or ownership of key assets, and that supports critical supply chains; and we want to ensure our continued access to key strategic locations. In other words, we will assert and enforce a ‘Trump Corollary’ to the Monroe Doctrine.”

It’s official Donald J. Trump doctrine to ‘roll back outside (European) influence’ in the Western Hemisphere’, and also ‘free of hostile foreign incursion’, ensuring US’ ‘continued access to key strategic locations.’

So, it’s unsurprising that the Danish, and now the Norwegian, are scrambling to respond.

We reported last month that the US upgraded its Consulate from a humble, small red house to a big compound, where they can more easily perform their diplomatic work (as well as spying and influence operations).

Today (19), Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere has announced that the Kingdom will open a consulate general ​in Greenland’s capital Nuuk.

Reuters reported:

“’The High North remains ​Norway’s most important strategic ​priority, and the Arctic is becoming increasingly ‌important ⁠for international politics and security’, Stoere told a press conference. ‘A Consulate General in Nuuk ​will strengthen ​both ⁠political contact and cooperation on shared interests in ​the region’, he said.”

Greenland’s Kalaallit Nunaata Radio (KNR) reported (translated from the Danish):

“Jonas Gahr Støre also says that the seven Arctic countries in the defense alliance NATO have prepared a new strategy for the Arctic and emphasizes that conditions in Greenland must be handled by Denmark and the Greenlandic people.

The NATO alliance’s Arctic countries are Norway, Denmark, Canada, the United States, Sweden, Finland and Iceland.”

Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen calls the opening a positive development.

“‘I think it’s positive that we have good cooperation with all the Nordic countries – including Norway, and I’m pleased that they are showing this commitment and working to open a consulate general in Nuuk’, he says.”
