Greenland's election results show 85 percent of Greenlanders did not agree with Donald Trump's insistence on acquiring the island " one way or the other" The performance of the center-right Demokraatit (the Democrats ) shocked even their own leader, Jens Frederik Nielsen .

Naleraq (Point of Orientation) is the most staunchly pro-independence of the main parties, ending on roughly 25 percent .

Greenland 's politics is reliant on the formation of coalitions, with Jens Frederik Nielsen indicating his willingness to work with any of the other parties.

IA and Siumut seemingly failed to do this while in government, losing much of their vote share outside of larger settlements.

Working with Naleraq would likely result in a government that supports the extraction of rare earth minerals and fossil fuels.

The Naleraq party now has a mandate to reshape Greenland 's relationship with its colonizer.

Trump ’s reaction to the results was to call Jens Frederik Nielsen a “very good person” and suggest to the NATO secretary general Mark Rutte that the military alliance should be involved in an American annexation of Greenland .
