Greenlanders are heading to the polls today to vote in a snap general election amid geopolitical tensions stirred by President Donald Trump’s claims to make Greenland – currently a semi-autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark – a part of the United States.
Last month, Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute Egede called for an early election in a social media post, stating, “We are in a serious time. A time we have never experienced in our country. The time is not for internal division but for cooperation and unity for our country. I am once again more than ready to work for you and to lead our country.”
