Singer Björk says she supports Greenland’s “fight for independence” amid President Trump’s rising threats to take over the territory.

“I wish all greenlanders blessing in their fight for independence,” the Icelandic performer said in a post to her 2 million Instagram followers on Monday.

“Icelanders are extremely relieved that they managed to break from the danish in 1944,” added the 60-year-old entertainer, who was born Björk Guðmundsdóttir, referring to the year that Iceland was declared a republic. 

“we didn´t loose [sic] our language (my children would be speaking danish now) and I burst with sympathy for greenlanders , repeatedly,” she wrote, spotlighting a 2024 lawsuit against Denmark brought by a group of Indigenous women in Greenland who said they were forced to receive contraceptive coil implants in the 1960s and 1970s. 

“colonialism has repeatedly given me horror chills up my back, and the chance that my fellow greenlanders might go from one cruel coloniser to another is too brutal to even imagine,” Björk wrote.

While the “It’s Oh So Quiet” songwriter didn’t mention Trump or the United States by name, her social media comments came following the president’s renewed talk of potentially taking over Greenland, which is part of Denmark.

Following the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces, Trump told reporters on Sunday, “We need Greenland from a national security situation. It’s so strategic.”

“Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships all over the place,” Trump said. 

“We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security, and Denmark is not going to be able to do it,” he said. 

The remarks have drawn strong pushback from European leaders, including Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who said a U.S. attack on Greenland would mean the end of NATO.

In her Instagram message, Björk urged “dear greenlanders” to “declare independence!!!!”

“Sympathetic wishes from your neighbours,” she said.
