Greenland's Trump Advocate: The Unlikely Rise of Jorgen Boassen**

Jorgen Boassen, a passionate supporter of Donald Trump in Greenland, faces hostility at home but aspires to forge a closer relationship between Greenland and the U.S. amid growing geopolitical interest.**

Jorgen Boassen stands out as a polarizing figure in Greenland, where his fervent support for former President Donald Trump has earned him both admirers and adversaries. Recently, he found himself recovering from an altercation in Nuuk’s local bar, a stark reminder of the consequences that accompany his political advocacy. Despite these challenges, Boassen remains steadfast in his beliefs, declaring, “The United States has my back.”

At 51 years old and with a background as a bricklayer, Boassen's unlikely journey into the political realm has seen him transitioning from a local tradesman to a recognized voice in the Arctic's complex geopolitical narratives. He openly campaigned for Trump in the U.S. and played a pivotal role in organizing Donald Trump Jr.’s visit to Greenland, where aspirations for American partnerships are gaining traction. His living room, adorned with MAGA memorabilia, reflects his commitment to the cause.

Boassen's vision for Greenland includes establishing a robust security alliance with the U.S., as he advocates for the island to seek independence from Denmark rather than outright acquisition by America. His image as a rebel against Greenland's traditional sanity has placed him at the forefront of discussions aiming to redefine the territory’s future as climate change increases global interest in its resources.

Despite a sometimes strained relationship with the former president—indicating that he doesn't always align with Trump’s more imperialistic views—Boassen's influence grows as more international investors look to him as a potential gateway into Greenland’s economic opportunities. As he maintains communication with journalists and documentarians eager to share his story, Boassen solidifies his role as an essential player in the Arctic's evolving political landscape, embodying the merge of local ambition with international aspirations.
