Denmark’s King Frederik began a visit to Greenland on Monday to reinforce ties with the semi-autonomous territory following U.S. President Donald Trump’s calls to acquire the island.
Despite recent tensions, King Frederik remains well-liked in Greenland. His visit, alongside Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen, symbolizes a reaffirmation of unity, said political analyst Noa Redington.
While King Frederik holds no political authority, his presence sends a strong message that Denmark and Greenland remain connected. His trip follows months of strain, including Greenland’s premier accusing Denmark of past "genocide" and pushing for independence earlier this year. However, new leadership in Greenland has pledged continued cooperation with Denmark.
King Frederik, who has a long history with Greenland, will visit the capital Nuuk, Station Nord military base, and join the Sirius Patrol, an elite unit traveling by dog sleds, a group Trump once criticized as an example of Denmark's limited defense presence.
Greenland, once a Danish colony, gained self-governance in 2009 and retains the right to full independence. Although relations had been strained by historical grievances, Trump’s interest has prompted Denmark to accelerate investments and support for the island.
