'Genocide against Greenland': The country's dark history - and does it want Trump?

Donald Trump has said he wants Greenland to be independent from Denmark .

Greenland 's prime minister Múte Egede described this as 'genocide' by the Danish state.

Greenlanders have been accused of wrongs committed against the island's population in recent years .

A poll suggests only 6% of Greenlanders want their country to become part of the US , with 9% undecided.

Two-thirds of Greenland 's population say they want to be independent.

Opinion polls show support of 67.7% for the move among adult Greenlanders .

The extent to which Greenland would remain autonomous under US rule is unclear.

The economy is heavily reliant on the so-called block grant, a subsidy paid by the Danish government.

Some Greenlanders are warming to the model of a "free association" with either Denmark or the United States replicating a similar loose arrangement between the U.S. and certain islands in the Pacific .

But not everyone is convinced by suggestions that Greenland 's cancer patients, for example, would suddenly have nowhere to go in case of independence.
