Nuuk: In a coffee shop in Greenland's capital Nuuk, Lykke Lynge looked fondly at her four kids as they sipped their hot chocolate, seemingly oblivious to the world's convulsions.

Since Donald Trump returned to the White House last year with a renewed ambition to seize Greenland, international politics has intruded into the Arctic island's households.

Dictated by the more or less threatening pronouns of the US president, it has been an unsettling experience for some people here -- but everyone is trying to reassure their children.

Lynge, a 42-year-old lawyer, relied on her Christian faith.

“There's a lot of turmoil in the world,” she said. “But even if we love our country, we have even higher values ​​that allow us to sleep soundly and not be afraid,” she said.
