Greenland plans to ban foreign political donations over fears about potential interference in its forthcoming elections after attracting Donald Trump’s interest.

It is scheduled be considered on Tuesday and if it becomes law, which it is likely to do because the government holds a majority in parliament, it could come into force straight away.

It also said that “parties, including local and youth sections, are not allowed to receive contributions from foreign or anonymous donors”, described as those “who reside or are domiciled outside Greenland”.

Parties will also be banned from receiving private contributions in excess of 200,000 Danish krone (£22,000) in total or more than 20,000 from a single source.
