After signing law to ban foreign donations, Greenland PM calls for snap polls amid Trump pressure

Firstpost  

“It’s time for an election to the Inatsisartut. If the Inatsisartut approves my proposal, this will happen on March 11th,” Prime Minister Múte Egede wrote in a post on Facebook on Tuesday Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Bourup Egede. File Image/Reuters Prompted by rising geopolitical tensions following US President Donald Trump’s threats to acquire Greenland, Prime Minister Múte Egede called for an early election in the Arctic island on March 11. Egede’s announcement came after parliament approved a law to ban foreign or anonymous donations to prevent external influence in elections. Greenland, the world’s largest island with around 60,000 residents, was a Danish colony until gaining self-rule in 1979, although Denmark still manages its foreign and defense policies.
