As voters brushed snow from their coats, candidates from most of Greenland\u2019s major parties sat down in the front of the room, ready for questions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Every seat was filled, two dozen international journalists lined the walls and a man in a black and gray sweater stepped forward to the mic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWhy is running a small business still so difficult?\u201d he asked, his voice steady but impatient.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Cameras clicked and so did the strap-on spikes that several journalists wore on their boots to keep from slipping on the ice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cYou need to take those off,\u201d the moderator said. \u201cThey\u2019re ruining the floor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">With some grumbles, the spikes came off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Tuesday, Greenlanders will cast their votes in what has to be the most closely watched election this island has ever held, as President Trump asserts again and again that he wants the United States to take over Greenland. He has refused to rule out force, and in his recent speech to Congress, he made a direct plea to the Greenlanders themselves, promising, \u201cWe will make you rich.\u201d All the attention he has paid has drawn a wave of journalists, diplomats, social media influencers and investors to the Arctic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Greenland\u2019s leading political parties are presenting <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/20\/world\/europe\/greenland-trump-denmark.html\" title=\"\">different visions for the future<\/a> and some are pushing for a new relationship with the United States and quick independence from Denmark, which colonized Greenland hundreds of years ago and still controls some of its affairs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But for many of Greenland\u2019s 56,000 residents \u2014 a tiny population on the world\u2019s biggest island \u2014 geopolitics is not a priority. At the recent town hall debate and in interviews with voters, Greenlanders expressed much more prosaic worries, often about living costs, unemployment, schools and health care.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe election is shaped by what I would call a \u2018cross-pressure\u2019 \u2014 two competing narratives pulling in different directions,\u201d said Rasmus Leander Nielsen, a political scientist at Ilisimatusarfik University in the capital, Nuuk. \u201cThe geopolitical debates might dominate headlines, but for the average voter, daily life matters more.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">President Trump floated the idea of the United States buying Greenland from Denmark during his first term. After Denmark said no, the idea seemed to die.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But this time around, Mr. Trump seems determined to \u201cget\u201d Greenland, as he puts it. His refusal to rule out force has sent jitters across Europe, where relations with his administration are already hitting new lows over a number of issues, including tariffs and Mr. Trump\u2019s stunning pivot toward Russia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">European diplomats and American investors have been streaming into snowbound Nuuk, drawn by the island\u2019s resources and its strategic location. Greenland\u2019s position along Arctic sea lanes, which are opening up as the planet warms, have attracted the attention of the United States, Russia, China and European powers. The island also possesses <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/03\/world\/europe\/greenland-minerals-trump.html\" title=\"\">vast mineral deposits<\/a>, though many are hard to access.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In contrast to those sweeping ambitions, people on the island say they\u2019re worried about higher housing costs and economic uncertainty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThis election is a test of where Greenlanders see their future \u2014 both in their everyday lives and on the global stage,\u201d Mr. Leander Nielsen said. \u201cThe question is whether voters will prioritize immediate economic concerns or the bigger geopolitical picture. It\u2019s a tough call.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At the heart of the election is the question of control.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For more than 200 years, Greenland was ruled as a distant colony of Denmark, its Inuit population largely sidelined as Danish officials controlled its land and resources. Over time, pressure for self-rule grew, leading to greater autonomy and eventually a government of its own. Today, Greenland controls most domestic affairs, while Denmark still oversees defense, foreign policy and monetary matters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But full independence remains a challenge. Denmark\u2019s financial support covers more than half of Greenland\u2019s budget, making economic stability a key hurdle to sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The coming election will decide the makeup of the Inatsisartut, the island\u2019s 31-seat parliament. Nearly all major parties agree that Greenland should become independent \u2014 it\u2019s just a question of when and how. They also differ on what the island\u2019s ultimate relationship should be with the United States and Denmark.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">No major politicians have expressed a desire to become an American state, and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.veriangroup.com\/da\/news-and-insights\/opinionsmaling-groenland-2025\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">polls show<\/a> that 85 percent of Greenlanders don\u2019t want that. But some candidates, like Kuno Fencker, a member of the Naleraq party, believe that Greenland should establish close ties with the United States.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He says Washington could best protect Greenland and such an alliance would deliver more investment and development. Mr. Fencker is part of a small pro-Trump camp in Greenland and went to Washington for Mr. Trump\u2019s inauguration. He says the first step is breaking off from Denmark.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt\u2019s about us gaining full authority over our land,\u201d he said. \u201cFrom there, we will cooperate with international organizations and other countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The United States has maintained a military presence on Greenland since World War II, with a small missile defense base at the top of the island.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe U.S. is here to stay,\u201d Mr. Fencker said. \u201cThey will always be part of the negotiating equation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Other parties, including the Demokraatit, are more cautious about sovereignty and relations with Washington.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe must be smart and not push for independence at the expense of our people,\u201d said Bo Martinsen, a Demokraatit candidate. \u201cRight now, immediate independence is not feasible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump\u2019s attention has intensified the conversation about independence and what Greenland should do if it breaks off from Denmark.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe most important thing for me in this election is that there\u2019s so much talk about independence, but I really want to know: How?\u201d said Runa Sv\u00e6rd, a municipal planning chief in Nuuk. \u201cI need a road map.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On an island where harsh weather can shut down entire towns and 80 percent of the land mass is covered by a glacier ice cap, ensuring a smooth election isn\u2019t so simple.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ballots are flown by helicopter, ferried by boats through Arctic waters and sped to remote settlements by snowmobile. Once cast, each vote is counted by hand, with results relayed by email or, in the most isolated regions, by satellite phone. The results are expected to be announced late Tuesday, weather permitting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIf a storm comes in and delays transport, we have to improvise,\u201d said Klaus Georg Hansen, a former election official.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But storms aren\u2019t the only threat. Danish intelligence officials have <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/pet.dk\/pet\/nyhedsliste\/myndighederne-holder-oeje-med-mulig-paavirkning-fra-fremmede-stater\/2025\/02\/28\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">warned of foreign interference<\/a>, with fake social media profiles posing as Greenlandic politicians and statements twisted to sow division.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">With each passing day, the election buzz grows louder in Nuuk. As travelers drive away from the new international airport, two massive banners, one for Naleraq and another for Inuit Ataqatigiit, the governing party, hang on opposite sides of a rock-cut mountainside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-10\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Further along, campaign posters sway from lampposts. On Thursday, as John Nathansen, a 66-year-old pensioner, made his way to a supermarket, the election was on his mind.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe conditions we live under don\u2019t get enough attention. Instead, it\u2019s all about that orange guy \u2014 Trump,\u201d he said. \u201cIn my view, independence should be at the back of the line.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\"
