Trump’s Election Influence<\/em> Despite Trump’s pressure, Greenland is not likely to be sold. It has 31 members of parliament, and most are for independence but not American domination. However, an independent Greenland would need new partners, and Egede has indicated it is “open for business,” which means possible U.S. partnerships. <\/p>\n\n Denmark’s Position<\/em> Over 80% of the Greenlanders support independence, but barely half of them are concerned about economic sustainability. Greenland has a fragile economy based on fishing and tourism and relies on Danish economic suppor. Expanding the mining sector could make it more independent, but it would require new economic benefactors, perhaps including the United States. <\/p>\n\n The ultimate election result on March 12 will determine the future government and direction of Greenland towards independence. In case the pro-independence parties gain more power, Greenland can hasten its separation from Denmark and negotiate potential alliances with other nations\u2014including the United States. <\/p>\n
