Greenland will hold a general election on March 11, its prime minister said on Tuesday, amid renewed interest from U.S. President Donald Trump in the Arctic territory, APA reports citing Reuters.

The upcoming election campaign is expected to revolve around Greenland's independence aspirations, the development of the island's fragile economy and relations with Denmark and the United States.

"We are in the midst of a serious time. A time that we have never experienced in our country. This is not the time for internal division," Prime Minister Mute Egede said in a social media post that did not mention Trump.

Greenland's parliament later unanimously approved his proposal for the March 11 election.
