Greenland PM calls for snap election amid Trump interest in acquisition

Greenlandic Prime Minister Mute Egede proposed a general election for March 11, seeking parliamentary approval for his plan.
The election campaign will focus on Greenland's independence aspirations amid U.S. President Donald Trump's interest in acquiring the island.
A recent survey indicated a majority of Greenlanders would support independence, though 45% would oppose it if living standards declined.
The bill aims to safeguard Greenland's political integrity and address geopolitical interests related to the island's future.
