NUUK, Greenland (Reuters) - Greenland will strengthen its ties with Denmark until it can become a sovereign nation, the Arctic island's incoming prime minister told Reuters on Monday, noting that the semi-autonomous Danish territory ultimately wants to become independent.
Jens-Frederik Nielsen, 33, was sworn in as prime minister of Greenland on Friday and will lead a four-party coalition government amid challenges posed by U.S. President Donald Trump's ambitions to control the island.
