Greenland’s centre-right opposition Demokraatit party has won a parliamentary election overshadowed by United States President Donald Trump’s pledge to take control of the strategically placed Arctic island.
Demokraatit, which is described as pro-business and favours a slow approach to independence from Denmark, won 29.9 percent of votes following Tuesday’s election, the Reuters news agency reports, ahead of the opposition Naleraq party, which favours rapid independence, at 24.5 percent after all votes were counted.
