A new opinion poll shows 85% of Greenlanders oppose the idea of their island joining the United States, following Donald Trump's repeated calls for the US to take control of the semi-autonomous territory.
A recent opinion poll shows that 85% of Greenlanders oppose the idea of their island becoming part of the United States, following Donald Trump's suggestion to take control of the semi-autonomous Danish territory.
Trump, since his re-election, has continued to express interest in acquiring Greenland, an Arctic island governed by Denmark but with significant autonomy. On Saturday, speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump stated, "I think we’re going to have it," and claimed that the island’s 57,000 residents “want to be with us.”
However, a new survey by pollster Verian, commissioned by Danish newspaper Berlingske, revealed that only 6% of Greenlanders support joining the US, while 9% remain undecided.
The poll was released as Denmark's prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, emphasized Europe's need to "stand together" in light of shifting US relations, during a diplomatic visit to Berlin, Paris, and Brussels. After meeting German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Frederiksen stated, "I want to ensure that all of Europe stands together. Not only in connection with the Kingdom of Denmark but also more broadly.
