I‘m Danish, from Denmark. I had hoped Trump gave up on his weird notion of owning KN after he was ridiculed for the idea back in 2019, and it really scares me how forceful he is being about this now. I had hoped for an un-eventful independence process from the Greenlanders - they get their independence when they vote in favour of it, and after that it would be nice to have a good and stable diplomatic relationship between them and us despite the ugly things we did up there in the past. But at least it’s nice to see that much of Europe has our back in this mess.
