Greenland's Democrats will announce a four-party coalition government on Friday, local media said on Thursday, following an election overshadowed by US President Donald Trump's interest in taking control of the island.
The expected announcement of a broad coalition would come on the day that US Vice President JD Vance is set to visit the Arctic island, which is a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark.
Vance, in a revised travel plan that initially upset both Greenland and Denmark, is expected to visit the U.S. military base at Pituffik in the north on Friday. The original plan included a visit by Vance's wife, Usha, and national security adviser Mike Waltz, to a popular dog-sled race, with no invitation from Greenland's authorities.
Greenlandic broadcaster KNR said, without identifying its sources, the coalition announcement would take place around 1100 local time (1300 GMT) on Friday. The coming announcement was confirmed to Reuters by one anonymous source familiar with the talks.
