The news outlet noted that sales of survival gear grew in recent weeks. Shop owners said locals are purchasing camping stoves, dried and freeze-dried food.

US President Donald Trump has said many times that he wants to take control of Greenland for the US, considering it vital for national security.

At the same time, Danish authorities, which govern Greenland, have said they do not plan to give up the territory. Greenland's own government has also said they do not want to join the US.
