Greenland’s pro-business opposition party won the Arctic island’s closely-watched parliamentary election on Tuesday, following a race dominated both by US President Donald Trump’s annexation threat and growing calls from residents for independence from Denmark.

A party that favors a path to Greenland’s independence from Denmark has won a surprise victory in parliamentary elections.

The leader of the winning party said he hoped the election would send a clear message to Trump that Greenland was “not for sale” and Greenlanders “don’t want to be Americans.”
