The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, arrived in Greenland with the objective of presenting "a substantial package of measures" to the Danish autonomous territory. The visit takes place at a time of tension, given that the Trump administration has expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, a territory that is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. During the visit, Von der Leyen intends to reaffirm the European Union's commitment to Greenland, demonstrating European support for a territory facing external pressures. The trip underscores the strategic importance the EU assigns to the Arctic region and territorial sovereignty in the face of external threats.
