All five parties in Greenland’s parliament have issued a joint statement on Friday rejecting President Donald Trump’s latest effort to take control of the strategic Arctic island.

Greenland's political parties must set aside disagreements and swiftly form a broad coalition government to show unity in the face of a U.S. campaign to annex the island, the Democrats said on Friday after winning this week's election.
