Greenland is set to hold a general election on 11 March, as announced by Prime Minister Mute Egede. The election is expected to revolve around discussions of independence, economic development, and the island's relationship with Denmark and the United States, especially in light of President Trump’s interest in the territory. Greenland has historically gained more autonomy but remains dependent economically on fishing and Danish grants. Recent polling suggests majority support for independence, yet concerns about the potential negative impacts on living standards complicate the issue. Unity is emphasized as a priority during this critical juncture.
