EU Delivers Boost to Greenland

Europe is shoring up Greenland as President Trump presses his campaign to take control of the island. During a visit, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Monday unveiled a $232 million package for Greenland, saying it underscores its decision to deepen ties with the EU rather than the US, CNBC reports. Standing with the prime ministers of Greenland and Denmark, von der Leyen praised Greenland as a "strategic ally and a trusted friend" that has "stood firm" under intense pressure over its future. The funds, to be spent this year and in 2027, target what she called the "three Cs": better connections, clean energy projects, and access to critical minerals.
