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.

Greenland's upcoming national election could set the stage for a later referendum on its future control, as President Trump has renewed his quest to take over the natural resources-rich arctic land.

The leader of Greenland's parliament has reminded President Trump that Greenland is not up for grabs, a day before the island's elections.
