EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen arrived in Greenland on Sunday (September 6) for a two-day visit serving as a show of support for the governments of Greenland and Denmark, which have strongly rebuffed U.S. President Donald Trump’s campaign to annex the world’s largest island.

On her first day of her visit, von der Leyen met with the Danish and Greenlandic prime ministers, Mette Frederiksen and Jens-Frederik Nielsen, and went on a boat trip to Qoornoq fishing village.

Von der Leyen is expected to unveil on Monday (September 7) a boost in EU investments in Greenland and closer political ties with the Danish Arctic territory, which Trump has insisted should belong to the United States.

The head of the 27-nation European Union's executive body, von der Leyen is expected to unveil plans to invest in sectors including critical minerals, satellite communications and renewable energy in Greenland, a semi-autonomous part of the Danish realm.
