The pamphlet urged Greenlanders to have enough to “fend for yourself for five days if a crisis occurs”.

“If you are prepared and can take care of yourself and your loved ones, the authorities can focus their efforts where the needs are greatest and work to normalize the situation,” the recently released pamphlet advises.

“The more people who can fend for themselves and help others, the stronger we are as a society,” it continues, emphasizing the communal strength found in self-reliance and mutual aid.

“Do what you can and help those around you. Fortunately, we are good at that,” the document concludes, reinforcing a message of collective resilience.

Despite its seemingly noble intent, the timing of the pamphlet’s release yesterday has raised a few eyebrows. The document addresses growing concerns such as the rise of tsunamis and the threat of cybercrime, topics that are increasingly relevant in today’s world.

It does mention the rise of tsunamis and cybercrime.

“In addition, international conflicts and geopolitical tensions can affect security of supply and infrastructure, which can have consequences for daily life,” it read.

The advice suggests the five days of food should be able to be stored without refrigeration and eaten without heating.

“Hunting and fishing can be a source of food in a crisis situation,” the pamphlet read.

“Therefore, also consider access to hunting weapons, ammunition and fishing equipment.”

Animals commonly hunted in Greenland include musk ox, reindeer, hare, fox and seals.

But hours after the pamphlet was issued, Trump appeared to back down on his annexation ambitions.

Instead he announced an unspecified “framework of a future deal” for the island.

The US president went into few details about the agreement he had struck with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.

“Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st.”

Wall Street jumped today in the wake of Trump’s announcement.
