### Greenland's Unexpected Advocate: The Trump Supporter Driving Political Change
Jorgen Boassen's fervent pro-Trump stance as a Greenlandic political influencer challenges traditional allegiances.
In the heart of Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, Jorgen Boassen is a man at the center of controversy. Known for his unwavering support of Donald Trump, this 51-year-old former bricklayer is viewed by some as a traitor to his homeland, a sentiment made painfully clear when he was recently punched in the face during a bar confrontation. Yet instead of fear, Boassen feels bolstered by a sense of reassurance from the United States, insisting, "The United States has my back."
Boassen’s admiration for Trump extends beyond mere political preference; he has actively campaigned for the president in the United States and played a pivotal role in coordinating Donald Trump Jr.'s visit to Greenland. His home reflects his devotion—with three pristine MAGA hats prominently displayed on his coffee table.
While many Greenlanders remain unsettled by Trump’s openly expressed desires to acquire Greenland, Boassen advocates for a different path forward. He proposes fostering a robust security alliance between a potentially independent Greenland and the United States, removing the territory’s historical ties to Denmark. His advocacy marks him as one of the most prominent voices in the discussion about Greenland’s future, a growing point of interest due to climate change and its vast untapped resources.
As he lounged in his apartment, adorned in a pink T-shirt featuring Trump’s face, Boassen’s phone buzzed incessantly with inquiries from journalists, filmmakers, and investors. His position in this political arena has transformed him into an unlikely influencer, navigating complex local sentiments while seeking to reshape Greenland’s international relationships. Amid the attention and ambition, he maintains a degree of independence, admitting that he doesn't always agree with Trump’s methods, focusing instead on advancing a vision for Greenland's security and autonomy.
