Greenland presents draft constitution for complete independence from Denmark.

Greenland has unveiled a draft of its constitution after six years of work, seeking complete independence from Denmark. Although Greenland gained autonomy from Denmark in 1979, the former colonial power still has control of the island's most important affairs. The draft constitution envisages complete independence, and there's no mention of keeping the Danish monarch as head of state. Greenlanders are seeking greater influence in the world, and a future free of Denmark. The United States has had a strong military presence in Greenland since 1943, and Greenland wants to remain a part of NATO.
