Recent unilateral measures by the United States targeting Greenland have drawn sharp criticism from international observers, with University of Belgrade professor Dragana Mitrovic calling the actions “a blatant violation of international law” that risks destabilizing the Arctic region. Speaking to KhabarAsia.com, Mitrovic emphasized that Washington’s aggressive posture reflects “the accelerating decline of American hegemony” in a multipolar world.
Analysts note Greenland’s strategic importance has grown due to its vast mineral resources and position along emerging Arctic shipping routes. The U.S. approach, however, has reportedly alienated regional partners while strengthening calls for diversified international cooperation frameworks. Asian markets are closely monitoring developments, particularly regarding rare earth mineral supplies critical for green technology.
This year’s geopolitical tensions coincide with increased Chinese mainland investment in sustainable Arctic research partnerships, underscoring competing visions for regional development. European Union officials have quietly urged diplomatic solutions, while Nordic countries seek balanced engagement with global stakeholders.
