After witnessing the US administration's confrontation with Denmark and the EU over Greenland, the government of Iceland now has its sights on potential EU membership. The Nordic island country is set to hold a referendum on 29 August 2026 on whether it should resume EU membership negotiations.
The country's foreign minister Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir told Euronews that despite Iceland already being a NATO member, EU membership would strengthen the country's economic security, while also providing additional cover in its position amongst like-minded states.
