They had the ability to vote for independence for over 20 years already. Only reason they stay is for the money. Also keep in mind that these are professional parasites. They're not stupid. They know the value of what Denmark provides compared to a one time lump sum from the US taxpayers.
only 60,000 people there too.. should be a quick vote.
No, part of the original agreement was that Greenland could hold a referendum to leave Denmark and become independent at any time.
The issue is that they can't financially support themselves and would need another nation to be their financial benefactor.
There is a Greenland election in April and a referendum on independence could easily be added into that election.
Once independent, Greenland is free to negotiate with the US.
That's my understanding.
