Greenland’s acting prime minister invited local party leaders to a meeting to draft a joint spurning of Donald Trump’s latest approach to take over the Arctic island.

Voters unseated the incumbent prime minister to elect the center-right Demokraatit party that also campaigned heavily on domestic issues such as education, healthcare and jobs.

Trump's threats to take over the resource-rich Arctic island have shined an unprecedented global spotlight on the territory, as he has previously refused to rule out the use of force to 'get Greenland.

The New York Times said the party was likely to enter a coalition with Inuit Ataqatigiit, a moderate party that came in third in this week’s election with 21.4% of the vote. Its leader is the current prime minister, Múte Egede, who has also dismissed joining the United States.

The leader of the winning party said he hoped the election would send a clear message to Trump that Greenland was “not for sale” and Greenlanders “don’t want to be Americans.”
