Greenland's Independence Tango: Danish Dance or Solo Step?
New administration in Greenland set to tackle independence query
Terry-ho, mates! Let's take a gander at what's shakin' in the icy lands of Greenland, as they've kicked off talks to form a new government aiming to chart a course towards seceding from Denmark. The election's results on Wednesday, sparked by Trump's rather brash bluster about claiming the resource-rich Arctic isle, have thrown Greenlandic politics into the global limelight like never before.

Tuesday's vote in this self-governing Danish head-scratcher happened after Danish territory discussions went viral, thanks to D.T.'s eyebrow-raising threats. So, now what, fellas?

The U.S., being ambitious as ever, has hinted at buddying up with Greenland if it severs ties with Denmark. However, Greenland's Prime Minister ain't too pleased with America's peep show, stressing that they won't be a willing plaything for anyone. Keep your mitts off, 'Murica!
Lap it Up or Call it Quits?
Greenland currently has the freedom to scamper off and declare independence at any given moment, but it isn't mandatory to join the U.S. if they do. And we're happy to report that a whopping 85% of Greenlanders are A-ok with keeping their distance from the land of the free.
