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.

President Trump keeps saying he wants to “get” Greenland. On Tuesday, Greenland votes for a new parliament that could shape its future relations with the United States.

The president says the United States needs to “get” Greenland “one way or the other.” The territory has banned political contributions from overseas.
