Greenlanders head to the polls on Tuesday for local elections held under the shadow of US President Donald Trump’s threat to annex the autonomous Danish territory. Trump argues that the United States needs the vast Arctic island for its security and has refused to rule out the use of force to secure it. “We’ll get Greenland. Yeah, 100 percent,” Trump said on Sunday in an interview with NBC News. But the island’s new Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen shot back: “The United States will not get Greenland. We don’t belong to anyone else. We decide our own future.”
