“Greenlanders voted for a party that has never held power but which took a strong stance against President Trump’s bid to control the mineral-rich island in the final weeks of the campaign, which became dominated by the U.S. leader’s covetous comments,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Voters unseated the incumbent prime minister to elect the center-right Demokraatit party that also campaigned heavily on domestic issues such as education, healthcare and jobs, a sign that many Greenlanders, perhaps weary of international attention, decided to turn inward.”
Associated Press: Greenland’s election winners push back against Trump’s wish to take control of the island.
