Greenland Election Shifts Political Landscape, Rejects U.S. Integration
The center-right Demokraatit party emerged victorious, signaling gradual steps toward independence but maintaining a firm stance against U.S. annexation.
- The center-right Demokraatit party won Greenland's election with roughly 30% of the vote, advocating gradual independence and business-friendly policies.
- Naleraq, the second-largest party with 25% of votes, strongly supports immediate independence and closer ties with the U.S., but rejects annexation.
- The incumbent coalition parties, Inuit Ataqatigiit and Siumut, suffered significant losses, with Siumut's leader resigning after its worst result since 1979.
- Donald Trump's push for U.S. acquisition of Greenland has been firmly rejected by all leading Greenlandic parties, despite his claims of progress.
- Coalition talks are ongoing, with Demokraatit likely needing Naleraq or Inuit Ataqatigiit to form a government, shaping Greenland's domestic and foreign policies for years to come.
