STORYLINE:
Polls opened in Greenland on Tuesday as the territory held early parliamentary elections.
U.S. President Donald Trump has made it clear he wants to take control of the region that occupies a strategic North Atlantic location and contains rare earth minerals key to driving the global economy.
The self-governing region of Denmark is home to 56,000 people, most from Indigenous Inuit backgrounds.
Unofficial election results should be available soon after polls close, but they won’t be certified for weeks as ballot papers make their way to the capital from remote settlements by boat, plane and helicopter.
No roads connect communities across the island’s 2.16 million square kilometers (836,330 square miles).
The country has been on a path towards independence since 2009.
Most Greenlanders say they don’t dislike Americans, pointing to the good relations they have with the local Pituffik Space Base, formerly Thule Air Force Base, where U.S. military personnel have been stationed since 1951.
But Greenlanders show no sign of wanting to become Americans.
