Danish PM Mette Frederiksen visits Greenland to affirm sovereignty after Donald Trump proposes a "Golden Dome" missile system and floats buying the island, sparking a global diplomatic standoff.

The Arctic is melting, and so is the diplomatic decorum between allies. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has made an urgent dash to Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, in a dramatic show of solidarity after US President Donald Trump renewed his controversial interest in "acquiring" the island.
It is a scenario that resonates deeply with any nation that has felt the weight of imperial ambition. Just as African nations often find themselves as pawns on the chessboard of superpowers, the 56,000 people of Greenland are fighting to ensure their homeland is not treated as a piece of real estate in a Manhattan boardroom deal. Trump’s proposal, which includes placing a "Golden Dome" missile defense system on the island, has been met with a mix of incredulity and fierce nationalism in Copenhagen and Nuuk.
The drama escalated earlier this week when Trump threatened tariffs on European allies if his Arctic ambitions were thwarted. However, in a stunning turnaround typical of his transactional diplomacy, he rolled back the threats after a meeting with NATO chief Mark Rutte, citing a vague "framework" for a deal.
The Greenland saga is a masterclass in modern sovereignty. It proves that even small territories can say "No" to the world's most powerful man if they stand united. For Kenya, navigating between Eastern loans and Western security pacts, the resolve of the Greenlandic people is instructive. Territory is not just soil; it is identity. And identity, as Mette Frederiksen affirmed in the freezing winds of Nuuk, is not for sale.
