What Greenland's elections mean for the island — and the U.S.

NPR  

What Greenland's elections mean for the island — and the U.S. toggle caption Joe Raedle/Getty Images Greenland will soon have a new government led by a pro-independence party — signaling what could be an eventual split from Denmark. Egede has insisted that Greenland is not for sale and he framed the polling partly as a referendum on Trump's seemingly bellicose bullying, saying the election was a "fateful choice." The party's leader and Greenland's likely next prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, has called Trump "a threat to our political independence." Instead, Gad says, the results indicate that Greenlanders "are pushed away and more reluctant to engage with the U.S." Mark Nutall, a professor at the University of Alberta and affiliate professor at the Greenland Climate Research Centre, agrees, saying that "you could argue that the recent election results indicate a firm rejection of U.S. territorial ambitions."
