During election day, the queues rang, it was a festival atmosphere. Here, Trump’s awakening scares. Nevertheless, the world’s eyes and Donald Trump have made the Greenlanders realize that they are some to be expected.
Populist Narelaq, who became the second largest party, wants to break fast and hard with Denmark.
