    Perhaps the test of sentiment on independence and Denmark ties has been astroturfed by the US.

      That is not true. Greenland has a long history as a colony and they want to have independence. There might be a handful of MAGAts acting in bad faith, but a majority of Greenlanders want some sort of increased autonomy, though it’s not clear on what that would look like.

      Trump’s attacks on Greenlandic and Danish sovereignty have complicated things, and are actually pushing Greenlanders closer to Denmark, at least temporarily.
