I wrote this article about Greenland about ten months ago. It was the third in a series on the Arctic, examining why Greenland matters — and why Donald Trump’s fixation on the region was never as erratic as it first appeared.
With tensions now escalating and the Arctic once again moving to the center of geopolitical attention, it seems timely to republish it.
