The funding will support projects in connectivity, energy, and critical raw materials. During her meeting with Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen and Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, von der Leyen highlighted specific initiatives such as improving satellite capabilities and internet access in northern regions of Greenland. The leaders signed a joint statement pledging to strengthen cooperation in infrastructure, connectivity, maritime management, and civilian preparedness. Von der Leyen emphasized Europe’s interest in being more present and engaged in Greenland and the Arctic region, noting the geopolitical significance of the area. She reaffirmed the EU’s solidarity with Denmark and Greenland’s residents, particularly in light of past tensions involving U.S. President Donald Trump’s interest in Greenland. NATO military exercises, including participation from Slovenia, will take place in Greenland starting later that day.
