Ursula von der Leyen is expected to announce a €200 million funding package for Greenland during her visit to the Arctic island on Sunday, the Financial Times reports.

The package would cover 2026 and 2027, according to two officials informed about the trip. The money is expected to target critical raw materials, renewable energy, undersea cables, satellite connections, and data centers.
