Greenland's Trump Advocate: Jorgen Boassen's Unorthodox Political Journey

A fervent supporter of Donald Trump, Jorgen Boassen navigates the complicated political landscape of Greenland, advocating for a new future away from Denmark.


Jorgen Boassen, a 51-year-old former bricklayer, has ardently supported Trump, aiming to strengthen ties between Greenland and the US. Despite facing backlash at home, he envisions an independent Greenland aligning closely with the US rather than becoming a US territory.

In the eyes of many of his fellow Greenlanders, Jorgen Boassen is seen as a traitor. Recently, during a night out at a dive bar in Nuuk, Greenland's capital, the political climate turned violent when he was punched in the face, requiring hospitalization. Despite the physical and social consequences of his convictions, he remains resolute, stating, “The United States has my back.”

At 51, Boassen has transitioned from a bricklayer to a fervent political influencer, becoming an avid supporter of Donald Trump. Having campaigned for Trump in the United States, he also played a pivotal role in organizing Donald Trump Jr.’s recent visit to Greenland. Boassen proudly displays three MAGA hats on his coffee table, symbolizing his allegiance.

While his advocacy for the American president—who has publicly expressed interest in acquiring Greenland "one way or another"—has earned him disdain among some locals, it has transformed him into a prominent figure in the Arctic's political discourse, especially as global interest in the region's resources grows due to climate change.

Relaxing in his apartment in Nuuk while sporting a Trump T-shirt, Boassen’s phone buzzes incessantly with messages from journalists, filmmakers, and eager investors looking to harness Greenland's potential. His ambitions extend beyond simple admiration, as he seeks to shift the narrative for Greenland’s future, advocating for a strategic security alliance between an independent Greenland and the United States.

While he does not align with all of Trump's views—recognizing the former president's aggressive posture toward claiming the island—Boassen is primarily focused on detailing his vision for a future Greenland that is securely allied with Washington, compellingly positioning himself as a key representative for those who wish to distance the island from Denmark.

In this ongoing debate about Greenland’s future, Jorgen Boassen stands at the center, seeking both to redefine his homeland's geopolitical status and to capitalize on what he believes is an unprecedented opportunity presented by shifting global dynamics.
