COPENHAGEN, March 13 (Reuters) - Greenland’s Siumut party has withdrawn from the coalition government, the prime minister said on Friday, weakening ​efforts to present a united front against U.S. President ‌Donald Trump’s campaign to take control of the Arctic island.

The departure follows Siumut chair Aleqa Hammond’s warning that the party would leave after ​two Greenlandic ministers announced candidacies for Denmark’s March 24 ​parliamentary election without prior leave.

Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik ⁠Nielsen expressed disappointment but said his government would carry ​on, emphasising the importance of governance during heightened global scrutiny.

“I ​think it’s terribly bad timing and I’m very frustrated and disappointed that it’s happening at a time when we should be standing ​together,” he told reporters.

“Anything that might look like division ​in our country is grist to the mill for foreigners and we ‌should ⁠avoid that at all cost,” he said.

The broad coalition had been a cornerstone of Nielsen’s strategy to respond to what he has termed Greenland’s most serious time in ​recent history.

Siumut’s departure ​means that ⁠Greenlandic Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt, who has played a key role in diplomatic talks with the ​United States, is leaving her post, according to ​broadcaster ⁠KNR.

The loss of Siumut’s support, which holds four seats in Greenland’s 31-seat Inatsisartut assembly, does not threaten the government’s majority, ⁠as ​Nielsen’s coalition retains control with its ​remaining 19 seats.

Greenland will elect two members to Denmark’s parliament later this month.
