Greenland's Election Rejects U.S. Annexation Amid Calls for Independence

Greenland's political parties unite to oppose President Trump's annexation ambitions as election results reshape the island's political landscape.

All five parties in Greenland's parliament issued a joint statement rejecting U.S. President Donald Trump's repeated calls to annex the island, emphasizing their unity against such proposals.
The pro-business Demokraatit party won the election with around 30% of the vote, advocating for gradual independence from Denmark and rejecting U.S. integration.
The strongly pro-independence Naleraq party came in second, doubling its seats and pushing for an immediate independence referendum while ruling out U.S. annexation.
Outgoing Prime Minister Múte Egede and other leaders reaffirmed Greenland's sovereignty, with Egede declaring, 'We Greenlanders will never be Americans.'
The election results highlight a shift in Greenland's domestic politics, with coalition negotiations ongoing to determine the next government and its approach to independence and economic development.
