After the majority of votes have been counted, the opposition Demokraatit Party is leading in Greenland’s election, having secured nearly 30% of the votes. The election has attracted global attention, especially due to US President Donald Trump’s comments about his interest in controlling the Arctic island. The Demokraatit Party, which advocates for a gradual approach to independence from Denmark and opposes US control, won 29.9% of the votes with over 90% of the votes counted. Official results will be certified by election authorities within several weeks. The election was significant due to discussions about Greenland’s relationship with Denmark, with pro-independence supporters hoping for a stronger mandate towards full sovereignty. Greenland is a self-governing territory under Danish control, with Denmark managing foreign affairs, defense, and monetary policy. The election also drew attention due to Trump’s efforts to sway the outcome, which caused concern among Greenlanders. The island is believed to have valuable mineral deposits, which may become more accessible as climate change alters its landscape, increasing its geopolitical importance.
