COPENHAGEN (Reuters) -Greenland's Democrats will announce a four-party coalition government on Friday, local media said on Thursday, following an election overshadowed by U.S. President Donald Trump's interest in taking control of the island.

The expected announcement of a broad coalition would come on the day that U.S. Vice President JD Vance is set to visit the Arctic island, which is a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark.
