A growing American presence in Greenland’s capital, Nuuk, is stirring unease across the Arctic as concerns mount over sovereignty, influence and the future of the strategically vital island. What was once welcomed as a symbol of alliance has become a source of tension. A new and imposing U.S. consulate structure, rising prominently along Nuuk’s main street, now dominates the skyline of the capital. Its visibility and the expanded U.S. consular staff, has sparked debate among locals who fear a deepening American footprint. Tensions escalated sharply after U.S. President Donald Trump’s renewed remarks about acquiring Greenland, including suggestions of force. The comments triggered outrage in Nuuk, with residents rejecting what they view as insulting financial overtures and an unacceptable challenge to Greenlandic self-determination. WATCH
