Greenland’s Independence Referendum Is Years Away

“Greenland, thrown into the geopolitical limelight amid renewed interest from Donald Trump, may still need several years to arrange a referendum on independence,” Bloomberg reports.

“Aaja Chemnitz, who chairs the Greenland committee in the Nordic country’s legislature, spoke on Monday after recent comments by the semi-autonomous island’s prime minister, Mute Egede, on loosening ties with Denmark. Egede has in the past weeks stepped up his rhetoric and indicated an independence ballot could be coming in the next four-year election period.”
