I think I read that they are planning to start lowering the financial support from Denmark this year. But only by a small bit. With no concrete plan of weaning fully of it. So the end of the union still is far off it seems. As long as Greenland wants support they should get it, as they really need it, but the Faroe Islands should have been on-track for independence a long time ago imo.

What is the reasoning there?

Greenland is a massive untapped mineral resource and important geostrategic asset that Denmark owns and having a few small-ish settlements there costing them very little money helps maintain sovereignty.
