Greenland Beyond the Headlines: A Conversation with Head of the Greenland Representation to the U.S.

Why does Greenland matter so much to the United States?
Greenland has become an increasingly important piece of the global geopolitical puzzle. Its strategic location in the Arctic, natural resources, and importance to North Atlantic security have drawn growing attention from Washington. But Greenland has its own priorities, including greater autonomy and the right to determine its future.
So how does Greenland navigate its relationship with the United States while balancing its ties to Denmark and its own ambitions for self-governance?
Join us for "David versus Goliath: Greenland Negotiates with the U.S.", featuring Jacob Isbosethsen, Head of the Greenland Representation to the United States and Canada for an off-the-record conversation about the future of Greenland, its relationship with the U.S., and the impact Greenland's future will have on global geopolitics.
With more than 15 years of experience in Greenland's foreign service, Isbosethsen has represented Greenland in China and Iceland, served in its Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and worked on issues spanning international law, diplomacy, and Arctic affairs.
Come hear the Greenlandic perspective on the negotiations, interests, and competing priorities shaping the future of the Arctic.
