Nuke, Greenland – The single polling station is ready in the city of Greenland.
This large Arctic island with a small population holds an early parliamentary election on Tuesday which is being closely viewed. US President Donald Trump has clarified that he wants to control the region that occupies a strategic North Atlantic location and is the key to rare Earth minerals to run the global economy.
Trump’s quarrels are not on the ballot, but they are in the minds of all.
This self-zero region of Denmark is a home of 56,000 people, the highest from the indigenous inute background. It has been on a route towards freedom since at least 2009. Now, Greenlanders are the best way to ensure that they control their future.
“I think most of us are scared of the new year due to the interest of (Trump),” Pipluk Linga, a member of the ruling Inuit Atakatigit or the United Inute Party, told the Associated Press to the Associated Press. “So we are really, really looking towards Europe, to see if we can establish a strong bond with them to secure our sovereign nation.”
Public surveys show that most of Greenlanders favor freedom.
Most say that they do not dislike Americans, which point to good relations with the local Pitfic Space Base, in the east Thule Air Force Base, where American military personnel have been deployed since 1951.
But Greenlanders show no signal of desire to become American. Even some of Trump’s biggest fans are sticking to the principle that they should control their fate. It includes 53-year-old fisherman Garth Josephsen of NUUK, who plays a Maga cap and is proud to visit Trump’s Florida’s house Mar-e-Lago.
Their mantra is that Greenland is open to business, but not for sale.
Doris Jensen, a representative of the Social Democratic Simium Party, said, “The situation has changed due to Trump and due to the world,” Doris Jensen said that he has always favored freedom, “we have decided in our party that we (this) have to do more fast.”
Trump’s meditation has changed the deep local process of democracy. Suddenly, the presence of journalists from far away as Japan and Croatia reminds that they are away from normal times.
Following the final television debate of candidates at a school auditorium in Nuuk, Prime Minister Mute Borupa AD was congratulated by around 75 supporters, who were almost excluded by photographers and cameramen.
“All these correspondents are frightening for us,” Aviaja Sinkback said, who works in school. “This means that something must be happening soon.”
He said: “I wonder what Trump has done his sleeve.”
There is a different rhythm in politics in Greenland. The debate rarely became hot during campaigning. Those who became very animated were asked to step out. The issues included the construction of a skilled workforce and how to decorate the new airport, which opened a runway to handle Jumbo Jets in November.
On Tuesday, political parties who pitch out tents at the capital’s loan polling station at Nuuk Sports Hall will have a raisin bread with butter offering hot drinks and greenlandic cakes, as well as a raisin bread with butter-in the hope of voters.
A bus will circle the city of about 20,000 people, offering a ride.
An informal election results should be available immediately after the polling is closed, but they will not be certified for weeks as ballot papers make their way to capital from distant settlements by boat, aircraft and helicopters.
This is because there is no road connecting communities to the island’s 2.16 million square kilometers (836,330 square mi), which makes Greenland the 12th largest country in the world.
Now the huge size has attracted attention.
Greenlanders know what they have. He hopes that rare earth minerals will help diversify an economy where government jobs are responsible for 40% employment.
But the government has imposed strict rules on the island to protect the environment, most of which are covered with snow. The rigorous atmospheric situation raises the question about whether it is commercially possible.
In the weekend, the gust of storm-power warned for boats and construction materials that they should be safely tied. As soon as the wind turned like a Rewing jet engine, the locals retreated in their homes to play board games.
