Greenland's pro-business opposition Demokraatit party, which favours a slow approach to independence from Denmark, won a parliamentary election that was dominated by Trump's pledge to take control of the island.

As Greenlanders head to the polls on Tuesday, US President Donald Trump’s idea to annex the nation has thrown this year’s elections into the international spotlight.

Amid growing pro-independence mood and the threat of a Trump takeover, Greenlanders vote in a pivotal election.
