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.

N UUK, Greenland — Greenland’s likely new prime minister on Wednesday rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s effort to take control of the island, saying Greenlanders must be allowed to decide their own future as it moves toward independence from Denmark.

President Donald Trump ’s dream of U.S. control over Greenland may be on hold after this week’s election in the autonomous Danish territory. During a debate earlier this week, leaders of six parties were asked if they trust Trump.
