Why is Greenland so rich these days? It said goodbye to the EU

Probably more due to the huge grant Greenland gets from Denmark. Which, of course, is in the EU.

I'm not the biggest fan of the EU but the Telegraph has consistently been anti-EU. This article however is shameless in not even mentioning the Danish subsidy.

Right, and there used to be, perhaps still are fair-sized US payments for the air bases.

Also, Telecom Greenland has a nice fiber cable running through Newfoundland-Greenland-Iceland-Scotland.
