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.

    And being vital to security had absolutely nothing to do with this, Denmark is a NATO country, the US have literally ANY security need for Greenland they just give NATO a call and it will be done on Greenland, the US already have several military installation on Greenland done this way, including extremely critical installations like ICBM early warning radar facilities.

    Security need is NEVER an excuse for the orange to pull this move.
