Oman's Sultan to meet Putin in Moscow following Iran-US nuclear talks

In Tuesday’s closely watched parliamentary election, Greenland’s pro-business opposition Demokraatit party took a commanding lead after over 90% of the ballots were counted.
The party, which advocates a gradual approach to independence from Denmark, secured 30.4% of the vote—a dramatic increase from its 9.1% share in 2021.
The election, marked by heightened attention following U.S. President Donald Trump’s provocative pledge to take control of the island, has polarized voters on the question of Greenland’s future. Trump’s comments have stirred debate among Greenlanders, with some viewing the notion as a potential stabilizing force for economic development, while others fear it may undermine the island’s long-standing autonomy discussions with Denmark.
Opposition to Demokraatit comes primarily from the Naleraq party, which favors a rapid move toward full independence. Naleraq currently trails with 23.7% of the votes. Political analysts suggest that Demokraatit’s surge reflects a growing sentiment among voters for cautious economic reform and sustained ties with Denmark, amid an environment of external political interference.
The dramatic shift in voter support has prompted widespread speculation about the future direction of Greenland’s domestic policy and its international relationships. As the final results are expected to be confirmed in the coming days, the outcome of this election could significantly influence the island’s strategy on independence and its approach to external influences in the years ahead.
