In the heart of Greenland’s capital, inside a warmly lit community hall braving the icy outdoors, voters are gathering for an election that is capturing far more than just local concerns. Amid discussions on why "running a small business still so difficult," candidates and community members are also contending with the high-profile interference of former President Donald Trump. Trump, who has repeatedly expressed a desire for the United States to take over Greenland and even declared to Congress, “We will make you rich,” has drawn a global spotlight on this tiny island nation. With international journalists, diplomats, social media influencers, and investors in attendance, this closely watched election is balancing pressing local issues with the intriguing ambitions of a former world leader.

Key Points:

  • Greenlanders are set to vote on Tuesday in what is being called the island’s most closely watched election.
  • Local issues, such as the challenges of running a small business, are a significant concern among the community.
  • Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated his desire for U.S. control over Greenland, stirring significant controversy.
  • In a notable remark, Trump promised the Greenlanders, “We will make you rich,” during a recent speech to Congress.
  • The election has attracted international attention, drawing in journalists, diplomats, social media influencers, and investors.
