Greenland gambit falls short in Iceland’s EU vote

Iceland narrowly voted against restarting EU accession talks, with the no side winning 52.8% to 47.2% in a high-turnout referendum (82.5%). Despite Donald Trump’s Greenland rhetoric, voters did not swing toward EU membership, highlighting concerns over sovereignty, defense, and fishing rights. The result delays any renewal of talks for at least two years, dealing a setback to both Brussels and Reykjavík.
