US President Donald Trump has repeatedly said he wants the United States to take control of Greenland. It was a talking point that started early in his presidency, reigniting passions in Greenland on the topic of independence - not just from the US, but from Denmark. Then-Prime Minister Mute B. Egede said at a press conference earlier this year, We do not want to be Danish, we do not want to be American. We want to be Greenlandic." After the dust settled, The World's Carolyn Beeler went to Greenland's capital Nuuk to see how the movement had evolved, and she found a major division, not in whether to become independent, but how fast, and if the island is ready.
