The EU gives 200 million euro to Greenland. The money flows in this and in next year. The EU helps schools and the internet. The search for raw materials gets money too. Greenland has many materials that Europe needs. These are metals for steel and batteries. Until now these come from China. The EU wants to be free.
Ursula von der Leyen visits the city Nuuk. She meets the leaders of Greenland and Denmark. Greenland belongs to Denmark, but rules itself. The island is no member of the EU. Still the people are citizens of the union. The EU sees Greenland as a good friend.
The visit is a sign for Donald Trump. The US president wanted to buy Greenland before. He says Denmark cannot protect the island. The people in Greenland do not want this. They decide about their future alone. The EU wants to make Greenland strong. The money helps for safety in the internet.
