But whatever the consequences of his convictions, he insists he isn\u2019t scared.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe United States has my back,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Boassen, 51, a former bricklayer, is a fervid supporter of President Trump. He campaigned for him in the United States and helped coordinate Donald Trump Jr.\u2019s visit to Greenland this year. On his coffee table at home, three pristine MAGA hats occupy a place of honor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While his championing of the American president \u2014 who has vowed to take over Greenland \u201cone way or the other\u201d \u2014 has made Mr. Boassen unpopular at home, it has also turned him into an unlikely political player in the Arctic, a region of growing importance in a warming world eager for its untapped resources.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As he lounged on a couch in his apartment on the edge of Nuuk, wearing a pink T-shirt emblazoned with Mr. Trump\u2019s face, his phone buzzed with a stream of texts from journalists and filmmakers who wanted to talk and investors who hoped he was their ticket to riches in Greenland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the debate about the future of the world\u2019s largest island, a semiautonomous overseas territory of Denmark, Mr. Boassen has made it his mission to bring Greenland and the United States closer together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Still, Mr. Boassen noted he \u201cdoesn\u2019t always agree\u201d with the American president.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While Mr. Trump <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/10\/us\/politics\/trump-greenland-denmark.html\" title=\"\">wants to claim the island<\/a> for the United States, Mr. Boassen is pushing instead for a tight security alliance between an independent Greenland and Washington. That has made him one of the most visible Greenlanders agitating to break with Denmark.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cDenmark has failed again and again,\u201d he said. \u201cThey are not up to the challenge of defending Greenland.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He has cultivated high-level contacts in Greenland\u2019s government and has spent the past few months working full time for an organization promoting closer U.S.-Greenland ties.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cGreenland\u2019s future looks brightest with America,\u201d Mr. Boassen said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">His transformation from bricklayer to political player began by posting prolifically on social media in support of Mr. Trump: sharing memes, defending him in comment threads and explaining his politics to a Greenlandic audience. Last year, those posts caught the eye of Tom Dans, a former Trump adviser for Arctic affairs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI got curious,\u201d Mr. Dans said in an interview. \u201cThere aren\u2019t many people in that part of the world standing up for Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Dans, who used to work at the conservative Heritage Foundation, sponsored Mr. Boassen to attend a Trump campaign event in Pittsburgh last fall. During the final stretch, Mr. Boassen went door to door for Mr. Trump in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Greenlander says he loves Mr. Trump\u2019s direct communication style and that \u201che\u2019s a good person, once you study him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Born in Qaqortoq, a small coastal town in southern Greenland, Mr. Boassen was raised by a single mother and maternal grandmother with little money, in a modest home with little heat \u2014 a markedly different upbringing from that of his political idol.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A quiet child, he became fascinated with politics through VHS tapes, books and television \u2014 \u201cthe only way to see the outside world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After drifting through a string of jobs, he settled on bricklayer, building houses in Denmark.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But after being discovered on social media, he now serves as Greenland director for American Daybreak, a nonprofit organization founded by Mr. Dans that promotes closer U.S.-Greenland ties.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He and Mr. Dans say that he met <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DCTrGnOuTTMYbQrHH8pyZUoTf4kEZ2sad1lYb80\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Mr. Trump Jr.<\/a> at the campaign\u2019s election night party, where he suggested a future visit to Greenland.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Though Mr. Boassen said he doesn\u2019t have direct access to Mr. Trump Jr., he said he communicates with the Trump team through Mr. Dans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In March, American Daybreak helped promote a visit by Usha Vance, Vice President JD Vance\u2019s wife, to Greenland\u2019s national dog sled race. But after reports of planned protests by Greenlandic activists, the visit was changed to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/28\/us\/politics\/greenland-jd-vance-usha.html\" title=\"\">a brief stop<\/a> by the Vances at a remote U.S. military outpost on the island.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Despite its ambitions, American Daybreak\u2019s website still reads, \u201cComing soon,\u201d and its social media presence is limited to photographs of Mr. Dans in Greenland and Mr. Boassen posing with figures like Nigel Farage, Conor McGregor and Senator Ted Cruz.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Although many of Greenland\u2019s 56,000 people want independence, a recent opinion poll showed 85 percent of them didn\u2019t want to become part of the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And some are dismissive of Mr. Boassen\u2019s efforts. \u201cHe\u2019s just riding the populist wave,\u201d said Frederik Kreutzmann, a social worker in Sisimiut, Greenland\u2019s second-largest town. \u201cI don\u2019t think much of him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While Mr. Boassen knows that some think he\u2019s being used, he believes he\u2019s part of something bigger \u2014 and wants Greenland to seize the moment while it still has Mr. Trump\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI\u2019m part of world history now,\u201d Mr. Boassen said. \u201cMaybe I\u2019m just a pawn in a bigger game,\u201d he added. \u201cPolitics is dirty, but if we don\u2019t move fast, we\u2019ll miss our chance.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/05\/11\/world\/europe\/greenland-trump-biggest-fan.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the eyes of many of his fellow Greenlanders, Jorgen Boassen is a traitor.
