Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute B. Egede has called a general election for next month, with global attention drawn to the island after US President Donald Trump said he wants to wrest control of the territory from Denmark.

Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede called for snap elections there with a renewed global interest in the large Arctic Island since U.S. President Donald Trump has express interest in it.

Greenland plans to ban foreign and anonymous donations to its political parties after the Trump administration has said the US president is serious about taking control of the vast Arctic island.

Greenland's government is pushing a bill to ban foreign political donations ahead of its election after the Trump administration doubled down on its push to acquire the autonomous territory that's part of the Danish kingdom.

Greenland's prime minister announced on Tuesday that the semi-autonomous Danish territory will hold a general election on March 11 amid interest by U.S. President Donald Trump in acquiring the Arctic island.

The law, billed as an effort “to safeguard Greenland’s political integrity,” came ahead of parliamentary elections.
