Greenland's centre-right Democrats, who won legislative elections but must now form a ruling coalition, are ready to talk to all parties, their deputy leader said.

Demokraatit won over parties that have governed the territory for years and favors a moderate approach towards independence from Denmark.

Greenland's pro-business Demokraatit Party surged to victory in a shake-up that could boost U.S. President Donald Trump's attempts to tap the island's mineral wealth, with the victors keen for reforms favouring private enterprise and mining.
