Elections in the 31-seater Parliament can potentially strengthen the US influence in Greenland, a sparsely population island, which is a matter of geopolitical race for dominance in the Arctic.
In Greenland on March 11, the early parliamentary elections will be held. Reuters reported it.
Some local residents consider these elections as a historical opportunity to “free” from the Denmark Board, as US president Donald Trump suggested to invest billions -billion dollars if the island joined the United States.
“Elections in the 31 -Seater Parliament can potentially strengthen the US influence in Greenland, a sparsely population island, which is the aim of the geopolitical race for dominance in the Arctic, as global warming contributes to the melting of the ice,” the publication of the public, “said the publication.”
The island has rare metals used in high –tech industries from electrical vehicles to missile systems. Against this background, China and Russia have strengthened military activity in the region, and the United States is trying to maintain.
As you know, Denmark controls the island for centuries. Greenland is the Danish colony until 1953 and has since received a wide autonomy, including the right to express independence, and Copenhagen remains responsible for the island’s security and foreign policy. Greenland is three times larger than Texas, but has a population of 57,000 people.
The result of the election is uncertain, as there are no surveys or an EC-pole expected. According to a survey conducted in January, most Greenland residents support independence, but are divided into terms and potential impact on living standards. All six main parties maintain freedom, but do not agree with how and when to achieve it.
Remember, US president Donald Trump confirmed to Congress the intent of obtaining Greenland. He noted that we are talking about a “massive piece of land” with “very small population”, but “very important for military security”.
Greenland’s prime minister Mute Egode has responded to the new comments of US president Donald Trump. He emphasized that Greenland is not for sale and it is “you can’t get it.” According to him, the Greenlanders themselves decided on the future of Greenland.
