冰岛将于周六举行公投，决定是否重启与欧盟的入盟谈判1。这次投票的提前举行与特朗普关于地缘政治的言论密切相关——特朗普曾4次错误地将格陵兰称为冰岛，这引发了冰岛政府和民众对地缘安全的担忧，促使政府将原定于次年的投票提前进行1。
冰岛与欧盟的关系复杂微妙。作为北约成员国，冰岛已通过欧洲经济区参与欧盟单一市场并属于申根区1。但冰岛曾于2009年申请入盟，在2013年中止谈判后，于2015年正式终止了加入程序1。此次公投重新激活了这一问题，围绕的核心分歧在于冰岛是否应保持独立自主还是加强与欧洲的制度性联系。
渔业权益成为加入欧盟的主要障碍1。冰岛外交和国防部长Thorgerdur Katrín Gunnarsdóttir表示："我们在渔业方面是超级大国，我们不会签署任何不强调我们主权和对渔业完全控制的协议"1。渔业冰岛公司首席执行官Heiðrun Lind Marteinsdóttir则指出，从渔业政策中获得永久豁免将是前所未有的1。加入欧盟需要通过评估35套标准，任何协议都需要欧盟全体成员国批准，最终还要由冰岛公民投票决定1。
Iceland will hold a referendum on Saturday to decide whether to restart negotiations on joining the European Union 1. The vote was moved up from its originally planned date the following year after geopolitical concerns were heightened by remarks from Donald Trump, who on four separate occasions mistakenly referred to Greenland as Iceland, triggering public anxiety over regional security 1.
The central issue dividing Icelandic society is whether the country should maintain its independence or deepen ties with Europe 1. Iceland already participates in the EU single market through the European Economic Area, is a NATO member, and belongs to the Schengen zone 1. However, fishing rights remain the primary obstacle to EU membership, with Iceland concerned about losing control over North Atlantic fisheries 1. Foreign and Defense Minister Thorgerdur Katrín Gunnarsdóttir stated: "We are a superpower in fishing, and we will not sign any agreement that does not emphasize our sovereignty and complete control over our fisheries" 1. CEO of Fishing Iceland Heiðrun Lind Marteinsdóttir noted that a permanent exemption from fishing policy would be unprecedented 1.
The path to membership would require Iceland to meet 35 standards set by the European Union, with any agreement requiring approval from all member states before being put to a final vote by Icelandic citizens 1. Iceland originally applied for EU membership in 2009, suspended negotiations in 2013, and formally terminated them in 2015 1.
