Greenland’s government unveiled a new brochure on Wednesday offering advice to the population in the event of a “crisis” in the territory, which US President Donald Trump has repeatedly vowed to seize from ally Denmark.
Guidance includes stockpiling food and water, hunting weapons and ammunition.
The document is “an insurance policy”, said Self-Sufficiency Minister Peter Borg at a press conference in Nuuk, the Greenlandic capital.
“We don’t expect to have to use it,” Borg said.
Trump on Thursday demanded “immediate” talks on his bid to control Greenland but said he would not use military force to take the Arctic island.
Work on the brochure, titled “Prepared for Crises — Be Self-Sufficient for Five Days”, began last year “against a backdrop of power outages of varying duration”, according to the Greenland government.
