‘You don’t just go and buy a country’: Greenland plunged into geopolitical storm

Ole Jørgen Hammeken was at sea far inside the Arctic Circle when the Inuit elder found a crumpled old business card in the pocket of his sealskin coat that had survived almost a decade of blizzards and storms. It belonged to Donald Trump Jr.

The younger Trump had met Hammeken in 2016, hoping the Greenland resident and veteran polar explorer would take him hunting musk ox with a bow and arrow in the island’s extreme north. But then his father ran for president of the US and the trip fell through.
