Greenland Votes In Key Election

NUUK, Greenland (AP) — The single polling station in Greenland’s capital city is ready. This big Arctic island with a tiny population holds early parliamentary elections on Tuesday that are being closely watched. U.S. President Donald Trump has made clear he wants to take control of the strategic North Atlantic location that holds rare earth minerals key to driving the global economy. Trump’s overtures aren’t on the ballot, but they are on everyone’s minds. This self-governing region of Denmark has been on a path toward independence since at least 2009. Now, Greenlanders are debating the best way to ensure they control their future.
