Greenland is having a moment in the international spotlight. U.S. President Donald Trump has been maneuvering to gain control of the mineral-rich Arctic territory that most people know only as a huge icy island at the top of the world.

Foreign influencers, disinformation, geopolitical ruptures and the potential takeover of a whole region: next week's parliamentary election in Greenland will take place under unusual scrutiny.
