Greenland parliamentary elections produced an upset win by a party favoring gradual independence from Denmark. President Trump openly covets the vast island.

In a historic shift, voters overwhelmingly supported two center-right, pro-independence parties in Tuesday's election, resulting in a major parliament overhaul.

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.
