Greenland Publishes Crisis Guidelines Amid Trump's Acquisition Interest

The Greenlandic government has published a new pamphlet with advice to citizens on preparing for a 'crisis', taking into account power outages and the growing desire of Donald Trump to 'acquire' the island. The pamphlet recommends storing food for five days, water, hygiene items, a battery-powered radio, as well as hunting weapons, ammunition, and fishing gear. The move is considered a 'safety net' by the Minister for Sustainability and Self-Reliance, Peter Borg. Greenland's Prime Minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, stated that the island must be prepared for a possible military operation, although he believes it is unlikely. According to a recent poll, 85% of Greenlanders oppose the annexation of the island to the United States.
