It would be good if we could make it more attractive for them to return home and take up some of the positions that are important in Greenland society," she says.But in her view there is a broader economic issue too.

"Political and economic independence are interconnected," she says, "and it's crucial that we cooperate with Denmark on the development of business in Greenland but also work with the Americans on the extraction of raw materials and the development of tourism."At present, the Greenland economy is heavily reliant on the so-called block grant, a subsidy paid by the Danish government that in 2024 amounted to the equivalent of around £480m a year.
