While President-elect Donald Trump has been making confounding statements about the United States acquiring Greenland by diplomacy, money or force, the world’s largest island (ahem, an autonomous territory of our NATO ally Denmark) has already been rising as an off-the-path tourist destination.

“Mr. Prime Minister, have you spoken to President Trump yet?” I asked as he fled a lunchtime news conference on Tuesday in the capital city, Nuuk (population 20,000). Egede, who is 37, wore a green zip-up sweater, stared straight ahead, and was walking toward me. He said nothing.

In a city of around 19.000 and with hospitality services close to full capacity, the bar for over-tourism is low.

In a groundbreaking move that echoes Jamie Dimon’s 2024 Davos predictions about tokenization revolutionizing real estate markets, Lympid, the rapidly growing RWA tokenization platform, is announcing the successful acquisition and upcoming tokenization of its first property in Greenland.

The prime minister said that while Greenlanders do not want to become Americans, “the reality is we are going to work with the U.S. — yesterday, today and tomorrow.”

In an era where multilateral cooperation is paramount, leading through partnership rather than confrontation is the only viable path forward.

Taking Greenland through force or coercion would not just be a bad deal for the United States—it could become a legacy-defining unforced error for the Trump administration.

The picturesque country of Greenland has become a popular destination for the many seniors who are traveling in record numbers to all corners of the world.

Greenland is a unique territory with Indigenous majority and partial independence from Denmark, and any attempt by President-elect Trump to annex it would be met with resistance from its leaders

The anticipated tourism growth comes amid heightened global attention on Greenland, fueled by U.S. President Donald Trump’s renewed interest in acquiring the island—an autonomous territory of Denmark—since his reelection in November. Trump has suggested he may use economic or military influence to persuade Denmark to relinquish control.

"For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
