Four -party government coalition is set up after the election at Greenland made in the shadow of the pressure of Donald Trump About the control of the island by the US.
Specifically, the center -right Demokraatit party, which won the recent local elections in Greenland, is expected to announce on Friday (28/03/2025) to reach an agreement on the establishment of a four -party government coalition, the KNR television network reports by KNR TV which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark.
The announcement of the agreement on the formation of a local majority government is expected on the day that US Vice President Jay Di Vance will visit US military base in Greenland.
The forthcoming announcement of the establishment of a government coalition confirmed to the Reuters News Agency source that knows the talks that preceded the parties in Greenland. The local government will be headed by Yen Frederick Nielsen, the leader of the Democratic Party who won the March 11 elections.
After returning to the White House, President Trump has expressed his strong desire to annex Greenland, arguing that the island is vital to US national security.
Most Greenlanders reject Trump’s views. “So far he does not provide,” the outgoing Greenland Prime Minister Mount Mutte commented a few days ago. For his part, election winner Yen Frederick Nielsen had called on the parties to set aside their differences and quickly form a large majority government to show unity against Donald Trump’s appetites.
Greenland is a former Denmark colony to which it belongs since 1953. In 1979 it gained some autonomy and then the first parliamentary elections on the island were held, but Copenhagen continues to define its foreign policy, defense and monetary policy of Greenland.
In 2009, Greenland won the right to declare complete independence after a referendum, but it has not done so as it worries that the standard of living of its inhabitants will get worse.
