By Stine Jacobsen COPENHAGEN, March 25 (Reuters) - Greenland's Naleraq party, which advocates swift independence from Denmark, won its first seat in the Danish general election, sending a critic of the Copenhagen-Nuuk union to parliament at one of the most crucial moments in the kingdom's history.

A candidate from a party pushing to fast-track Greenland's independence will soon represent the island in the Danish parliament.

Scandinavian nation was reportedly rallying military support from European allies to counter an attack on strategically pivotal island.

The Danes brought blood supplies, explosives and live ammunition to Greenland as part of contingency plans in case President Trump acted on his threats to seize the island.

A plan to defend the territory came at a time when President Donald Trump was pushing for U.S. control.

Denmark dispatched soldiers and explosives to Greenland in January as part of a contingency plan if the U.S. attempted an invasion.

Denmark used military drills to disguise actual preparations to resist a potential U.S. invasion of Greenland, according to a new report.
