Greenland bans foreign political funding as Trump seeks control

Greenland on Tuesday passed a law banning foreign contributions to political parties, an assertion of self-governance amid concern over President Donald Trump’s calls for the United States to acquire the island.

Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark, whose officials have repeatedly emphasized that it is not for sale. Leaders in Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, have also said that their people do not want to be part of the United States.

Trump, when asked, declined to rule out “military or economic coercion” to pursue such expansion.
