Description

The day after winning Greenland's elections, the centre-right Democrats hunkered down Wednesday to strategise about building a coalition government that could set out a path to independence for the autonomous Danish territory coveted by US President Donald Trump.

Ulrik Pram Gad, a researcher at the Danish Institute of International Affairs, said he expected the Democrats to follow a moderate path.
Now that voters had rejected Trump's advances, the new government's task will be "to channel his interest towards economic cooperation", he said.
