Von der Leyen: Residents of Greenland “Can Count on Us”

The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, stated today that the residents of Greenland “can count on us”, just hours before a meeting of Danish, Greenlandic, and American officials regarding the autonomous region. “It is important that the Greenlandic people know – with deeds and not just words – that we respect their expectations and interests and that they can count on us,” the Commission President said at a press conference in Brussels. She added: “Greenland belongs to its people.”
