In Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, Jorgen Boassen, a 51-year-old former bricklayer, is making headlines not just for his political views but for his fervent admiration of Donald Trump. His support has earned him both friends in Washington and enmity at home, where many view him as a traitor. Recently, tensions escalated when he was attacked in a local dive bar, leaving him hospitalized. Undeterred, Boassen remains steadfast, declaring, “The United States has my back.”

Boassen's allegiance to Trump runs deep; he actively campaigned for him and organized Donald Trump Jr.'s recent visit to the arctic territory. His home is adorned with three iconic Make America Great Again hats, emphasizing his dedication. However, his admiration for the former president, who has expressed a desire to 'take over Greenland,' has not translated into local support.

Positioning himself as a key advocate for Greenland's future, Boassen argues for a strategic partnership with the United States, envisioning a Greenland free from Danish rule and instead serving as America's ally. While he acknowledges some disagreements with Trump's approach—especially regarding outright acquisition—his goal remains clear: to foster a strong security alliance between an independent Greenland and Washington.

As he navigates this political landscape, Boassen finds himself in high demand, with journalists and potential investors reaching out, eager to tap into his influence and perspective. As the discourse surrounding Greenland's autonomy and geopolitical strategy heats up, the former laborer-turned-political influencer is at the forefront, fostering discussions about the island's role in an evolving world reliant on its resources amidst climate change.
