Title: Beyond Greenland's White Gold
Subtitle: Beneath the Veil - Danish Colonial Legacy and Trump's Arctic Strategy in Greenland
Description: Donald Trump's attempt to take Greenland shows how small nations struggling for real independence are limited by U.S. imperialism and Danish Colonialism. While independence is viewed as essential for postcolonial growth, it is often constrained by global political systems and imperialist economic interests. Therefore, debates over Greenlandic sovereignty are interconnected with issues of strategic reliance, great-power competition, and the persistent security concerns in the Arctic.

Regardless of Greenlandic voters’ national affiliations, such preferences alone do not lead to genuine political and economic independence. Even if Greenland officially becomes a sovereign state and adopts the most effective models for self-sufficiency and formal autonomy, the dominance of U.S. and global imperial powers will still limit true sovereignty. In this context, traditional approaches to independence, focused on statehood or national identity, remain insufficient.
