The Demokraatit party, which won a surprise victory, has pushed back against Trump's rhetoric, saying it is for Greenlanders to decide their future.

A party that favors a gradual path to Greenland's independence from Denmark won a surprise victory in parliamentary elections, held in the shadow of U.S. President Donald Trump's stated goal of taking control of the island one way or another.

A party that has criticized President Trump's threat to take over Greenland won an election there, but may have to govern with a pro-White House opponent.
