I would not call that “pushback” They still favor a closer association with the US, just not to become owned by the US.
Thing is Greenland currently cannot function without serious aid from someone. The country does not have the capacity to stand on its own given some sever resource limitations, resources needed to have a functioning modern civilization.

Chinese or Russian bought.
Without America, the either of the other two will gain control.

Treat them as a territory, with a written agreement.

Of course. Who would accept an offer before it is made?

I don’t share Trump’s hankering to close a YUGE real estate deal with Greenland, but the island cannot function with genuine independence. It will have to align with someone. Maybe they’ll go with Canada. TBH, I don’t care much.

I don’t know how to gauge it, but I’ve seen a number of
Greenlanders talk positively about joining the U. S.
Same thing goes for Canada.

I read something different yesterday. The article said conservatives won the election and they back Trump. Anybody know this Danica’s accuracy percentage?

They might find it more, uh, comfy, to maintain independence and receive funds from us through leasing land to us for military bases, selling us mineral rights, etc. — and of course receiving foreign aid from us.
In the meantime, they belong to a NATO country. And we already have a base there.

There’s no rush, plenty going on. The seed has been planted.

Spiny spin.
Winners, top two parties, are most amenable to US collaboration.
The party that had been in power was mist pro-Denmark and got thrown out.
When everyone, all the “experts” thought they’d easily retain power.
HAH.

I saw a comment on a hockey forum about a truck in British Columbia with a 51 sticker on it.
It’s a thing.
