Independence sounds appealing, but let’s talk numbers. Greenland’s GDP is $3 billion, with fishing accounting for 90% of exports. To replace Danish subsidies, Greenland would need to increase its GDP by 20% overnight—a Herculean task. The U.S. might offer infrastructure investments, but history shows such promises often come with strings attached. Look at Puerto Rico: a U.S. territory with limited autonomy and a debt crisis. Greenland’s current arrangement with Denmark provides stability and cultural preservation. Why gamble that for uncertain gains?
