Summary

A poll commissioned by Danish and Greenlandic newspapers revealed that 85% of Greenlanders oppose joining the U.S., contradicting Trump’s claims that the territory prefers American rule over Denmark.

Only 6% supported U.S. affiliation, with 9% undecided.

Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute B. Egede reaffirmed the push for Greenlandic independence, rejecting both U.S. and Danish governance.

Trump has argued Greenland is vital for U.S. security and suggested force as an option.

Meanwhile, Denmark seeks to maintain unity with allies while opposing Trump’s ambitions.

    Not surprising in the slightest. Greenland has to varying extents been affiliated with the Scandinavias for more than a thousand years now, whilst the connection to the US is… nonexistent.
