Will the Greenlandic population be bought with American dollars and thus say goodbye to own sovereignty and the community with Denmark and the Faroe Islands in the Kingdom?
And will Denmark give up and thus lose the Kingdom's largest country in terms of area?
'No!' has been the unequivocal answer until now.
But the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, stated to the legislative assembly in the US on Wednesday that a purchase offer is on the way before the meeting with Greenland and Denmark, because the Americans would prefer not to invade Greenland with weapons, even if Trump has declared that it is a possibility, he writes The Wall Street Journal None
Financiers and smart economists all over the world have been trying to guess what kind of buyout offer Marco Rubio might come up with next week.
Rabobank: DKK 6 million for each nose
The large Dutch bank, Rabobank, has calculated, according to BT, that every Greenlander will probably be offered more than DKK 6 million per nose.
There may be a purchase offer on the way, while the upcoming meeting with the American foreign minister from Greenland and Denmark is seen as an opportunity to confirm to the Americans that Greenland is not for sale.
Before, one might be tempted to pull on the smiley face throughout the Kingdom. But it is deeply serious on the part of the United States. Even if the US has unrestricted access to build all the military bases in Greenland that the US needs.
Rubio's statement suggests that although Greenland and Denmark are preparing for a diplomatic meeting with the foreign minister, the answer may be in cash from the American side, namely in the form of American dollars.
It is not known what will happen to the Greenlandic population
The American government talks about a purchase offer, but does not say what will happen to the Greenlandic population afterwards, if the scenario with the purchase were to be realized.
Member of Inatsisartut, Kuno Fencker (N) has indicated in a Facebook post that 'rumors will know' that Greenland can expect a free-association arrangement, where Greenland can be allowed to have some degree of self-determination. Fencker has announced a year ago that he expects such a scheme to be introduced.He has now repeated that None
Kuno Fencker is also relatively often on the major news media, where he does not hesitate to criticize Denmark, among other things, a claim that Denmark annexed Greenland in 1953 against the will of the Greenlandic population. This while Naalakkersuisut and the Danish Government largely prefer to remain silent.
Denmark and Greenland must act instead of waiting
Had Naalakkersuisut and the Danish Government thought that there would now be some calm, now that there is a prospect of a direct meeting with the Americans, they must think again. The Trump camp is adamant that Greenland must be in American hands, regardless of the clear no from Greenland and Denmark.
If the Americans are serious and come up with a purchase offer, there is a prospect that the individual citizens of Greenland may be tempted to let go of everything, including what Greenland and Denmark have built up, while the politicians in Greenland and Denmark still believe that a solution must be found through dialogue.
Sermitsiaq is working to obtain comments from both Naalakkersuisut and the Prime Minister's Office.
