Greenlanders voiced their opposition to the opening of a larger US consulate in the capital Nuuk on Thursday, in a tense context of President Donald Trump’s ambition for a greater US influence over the Arctic island.⁣
⁣
Moving from a wooden cabin on the outskirts of Nuuk to a much larger downtown office, the new United States consulate has become a focal point for Greenlanders unhappy with Trump's stated desire to control the island, a semi-autonomous part of Denmark.⁣
⁣
Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen and other politicians said that they had declined invitations to attend the opening of the new diplomatic mission. ⁣
⁣
The White House in January said Trump was considering how to acquire Greenland, including a potential use of the US military, setting off alarm bells among NATO allies in Europe, although talks have since been moved to a diplomatic track.⁣
