Pia Bailleul, an anthropologist at Sciences Po, discusses Greenland's mining potential and its quest for independence from Denmark. While Donald Trump's interest in buying Greenland was seen as disrespectful, it has also highlighted the territory's strategic importance in the global energy transition.
