This is a good idea for all countries, including against Musk in Europe.

Greenland, Eyeing Trump, Bans Foreign Political Funding
The law, billed as an effort “to safeguard Greenland’s political integrity,” came ahead of parliamentary elections.
By Maya Tekeli and Amelia Nierenberg

Greenland’s Parliament banned foreign and anonymous political funding on Tuesday, in the semiautonomous island’s latest reaction to President Trump’s stated intentions to acquire it. Greenland’s lawmakers fast-tracked the law — an effort to protect against outside interference — before upcoming parliamentary elections.

The law is Greenland’s most aggressive effort yet to push back against Mr. Trump, who refused last month to rule out using military force to take the island. The law does not directly name him as a potential campaign contributor, but a proposal that laid out the law and its rationale made clear that his insistence inspired its authors.

“Given the geopolitical interest in Greenland and the current situation — where representatives of an allied great power have expressed interest in acquiring and controlling Greenland — the country is particularly vulnerable to attempts to influence its elections and political decision-making processes,” the proposal read.

All countries, I think. Both Russia and China seem to have tentacles everywhere.
