The Difficulties of Finding a Democratic Solution to the Greenland Crisis
The current efforts by the U.S. President Trump to annex Greenland are likely to have substantial and possibly long-lasting consequences for trans-Atlantic political and economic relationships, even if, as we anticipate, those efforts fail.

We recommend Dr. Miller’s article to law firms on both sides of the Atlantic, but especially to those based in Europe.
