This is incredibly rude to Greenland, and shows zero respect for their identity as Greenlanders independent from Denmark and EU.
Greenland is an autonomous part the Kingdom.
They are neither Danish nor European.
It is sad to see such an ignorant contrarian comment upvoted. Even after the facts have been presented.
Greenland is seeking 100% independence from Denmark,
Greenland is not Denmark, it is a member of “rigsfællesskabet” ( Unity of the Realm ) just like Faroe Islands and Denmark.
It’s like arguing that Australia is British and European just because they are a member of commonwealth.
True. What I wanted to express was my (European) support for their resistance against Trump specifically and my hope that the EU will support Greenland against him as well. In my attempt to be snappy, I phrased it in a way that can be understood to be opposed to Greenland’s independence and I apologise. Wasn’t my intent.
Europe is like 45 km off the coast of Canada .
Greenland is not in Europe either. Iceland is.
Greenland is also not a member of EU, although they could have been if they wanted to.
I’m talking about France.
Who isn’t talking about France? Those bastards
OK that would be Saint Pierre and Miquelon not really France, so Mostly the same principle of what Greenland is to Denmark.
Why is it not France?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Pierre_and_Miquelon

canada shares a land border with the kingdom of denmark
Doesn’t change the fact that Greenland is not in Europe. Greenland is part of North America.

And it is also European.

Ah Greenland, the Australopithecus of EU dominance.
