Greenland voters sent a strong signal on Tuesday that they support leaders who will support the Arctic island's sovereignty, even as President Trump pushes to annex the territory.

Greenland's center-right Demokraatit party, whose leaders have been critical of Trump’s takeover talk, won nearly 30 percent of the vote — a dramatic jump from the last election four years ago.

Naleraq, the most aggressively pro-independence party on the ballot, came in second with nearly 25 percent of the vote.
