STORYLINE:
Greenland, a self-governing region of Denmark, remains on the path toward independence after an election held in the international spotlight.
It has been a shift in motion since at least 2009, when the government in Copenhagen recognized Greenland’s right to self-determination under international law.
The island of 56,000 people, most from Indigenous Inuit backgrounds, has attracted international attention since US President Donald Trump announced his designs on it soon after returning to the White House in January.
Four of the five main parties in Tuesday’s election supported independence, though they disagreed on when and how to achieve it.
Pro-business party Demokraatit won a surprise victory in the vote, outpacing the two left-leaning parties that formed the last government.
With most Greenlanders opposing Trump’s overtures, the campaign focused more on issues like healthcare and education than on geopolitics.
