Although Danish Foreign Minister Rasmussen's attitude is not very firm

Greenland may become independent, but it is unlikely to become a state of the United States.
Denmark is willing to jointly develop the islands with the United States and share the benefits without selling them.
In response, Greenland's Prime Minister Egede suddenly stated: "We don't want to be Danes, nor do we want to be Americans. We only want to be Greenlanders. What right does Denmark have to dictate to us?"
At the same time, major immigration agencies also began to advertise that you can immigrate to Greenland for $20,000 and then automatically obtain U.S. citizenship...
Now, no one can say for sure what will happen next.
Greenland is the world's largest island with a total area of 2.166 million square kilometers. It is located in the northeast of North America, across the sea from Europe.
For such a large island, about 84% of its area is covered by ice engineer data sheets. There are only five towns in total. Its pillar industries are fisheries, mining and tourism. It has 1.5 million tons of rare earth reserves and 42 million tons of potential rare earth resources, accounting for 22% of the world's potential.
There are 57,700 residents in total, mainly descendants of Inuit and Europeans, one-third of whom are engaged in fishing, and the per capita GDP is as high as US$57,116.3.
The happiness index ranks second in the world.
Greenland Resource Distribution
Although Greenland nominally belongs to Denmark, it is basically not subject to the latter's constraints.
Countries around the world do not include Greenland when compiling various statistics for Denmark.
As early as November 25, 2008, Greenland held a referendum on whether to expand its autonomy.
The result was that it passed with a landslide advantage, with a turnout of 72% and an approval rate of 75.5%.
The following year, the Greenland Autonomy Act came into effect, giving the Greenland Autonomous Government full control over its natural resources and its income no longer having anything to do with Denmark.
Since then, Greenland has not only gained political independence, but also economic independence.
