Nonilex<p>…<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/COFA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>COFA</span></a> agreements have previously been inked w/ <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/independent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>independent</span></a> countries, &amp; <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Greenland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Greenland</span></a> would likely need to separate from <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Denmark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Denmark</span></a> for such a plan to proceed. While polls show Greenlanders are interested in <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/independence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>independence</span></a>, surveys also show most do NOT want to be part of the US [who can blame them? Under <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a>, many US-ians aren’t anymore either]. A COFA - which cedes significant autonomy to Washington - *could* [will] be viewed with similar skepticism.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/geopolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>geopolitics</span></a></p>

It is not the only plan on the table, sources said, &amp; it would face many practical hurdles. [like, they’re not interested]</p>
