Björk has called for Greenland to declare its independence from Denmark as Donald Trump and his administration revived threats of taking over the country following the capture of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro. The Icelandic singer, whose home country was also under Danish rule from 1814 to 1944, shared a statement on Instagram expressing sympathy for Greenlanders.
“I wish all Greenlanders blessing in their fight for independence,” Björk wrote, adding: “Colonialism has repeatedly given me horror chills up my back, and the chance that my fellow Greenlanders might go from one cruel colonizer to another is too brutal to even imagine.” Read her full statement below.
Björk released her most recent album, Fossora, in 2022.
