Demokraatit, Greenland’s pro-business, center-right opposition party, secured the most votes in the parliamentary election on March 11, a surprise result in a closely watched race held against the backdrop of U.S. President Donald Trump’s pledge to take control of the autonomous territory.

On the ballot were six political parties, all of which supported independence from Denmark, though they differed on how and when it could be achieved.
