Greenland has announced that general elections will take place on March 11th, according to its current Prime Minister, as US President Donald Trump continues to express his interest in this Arctic territory.
The upcoming election will center on three major topics: the potential for separation from Denmark, economic progress, and Greenland's ties with both Denmark and the United States.
"We are in a critical period, one that our nation has never faced before. This is not a time for internal strife," Prime Minister Mute Bøddel wrote on social media.
Greenland's local assembly has uniformly agreed to hold general elections for next month.
Since returning to the White House, Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed interest in acquiring the territory, which has been under Danish control since 1814.
However, while Greenland has stated that it is willing to hold talks with the US, its government has made it clear that the territory will not be sold. Additionally, the government in Copenhagen has ruled out the sale of Greenland, but it has also stressed that the island could achieve independence if its residents were to vote in favor of it.
