    Why is the EU needed? Can’t Greenland lease the land to a mining company themselves?

      This was a deal with a mining consortium. They just chose to sign a deal with a company that doesn’t belong to people threatening to invade.

      Greenland is a Overseas Country and Territory (fucking diplospeak for colony) though and already has a certain level of trade access in the EU.
