Nearly half of Danes see US as threat and 78% oppose Greenland sale, poll shows
Exclusive: More Danish people regard US as a threat than see North Korea or Iran as danger
Summary
A YouGov poll found that 46% of Danes view the US as a major threat, surpassing concerns about North Korea and Iran but trailing Russia (86%).
Additionally, 78% oppose selling Greenland to the US, though 72% believe Greenland should decide its own fate.
The poll follows heightened tensions over Trump’s repeated claims that acquiring Greenland is an "absolute necessity" for US economic security.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has sought European unity in response, warning of shifting relations with the US.
Not going to lie if I was Danish I'd probably be feeling Anti American enough to start giving China the mining contracts instead. That way if Trump does invade he's not only going against Nato but also China.
That said it should probably be in the hands of the Greenlanders themselves but not sure a referendum is wise looking at the likes of Brexit etc.
What is the real reason trump wants Greenland?
I feel he saw how big it was on a typical map and thought "I can double the size of America. All we have to do is kick out these no-name unimportant suckers who happen to be there"
An excuse to access the war purse strings.
Mostly as a distraction while he pillages the government coffers and sells off foreign interests to Russia and China.
Can someone poll Americans cause I vehemently oppose the purchase and subjugation of Greenland. And I also vote Trump gets run over by a train.
American here, I support the American purchase of Greenland.
It'll be nice to have the option to settle or visit there without having to go through customs.
As an American, I agree, who the fuck cares of that orange turd wants it. He's a monster
So more than half have not been paying attention?
I live in Denmark, and was at a farm store, where the attendant said that musk did not do a nazi salute. I then jumped in and said "well, let's see your do that", which she did, and none of the others reacted to a girl in her late teens doing a nazi salute. You have no idea how many supports AfD and Trump has in Denmark...
Where i work, there's about 120 employees. 5 of them loves Trump, and one even proudly wears a MAGA hat. It's a fucking shit show in the country side.
Did you get a video? You know, so in the future nazi sympathisers get what they rightly deserve?
How the hell do only 78% oppose?
There's always about 25-30% insane people in every population. It's roughly the same percentage of Canadians who are SOMEHOW pro-US invasion of Canada
It's insanity
It’s roughly the same percentage of Canadians who are SOMEHOW pro-US invasion of Canada
Yeah, I noticed some of those users when blocking a bunch of magas elsewhere, and it was very o_O to see, too.
The article doesn't show the full data but there's probably a good chunk of "don't know / not sure" in that 22%.
YouGov is a poll that pays points pr. poll. These points can be used to buy actual products or gift cards worth real money. Lots of people click through them without reading the questions.
They sometimes add "click option 2 to verify that you've read the question", but even then it's likely that some percentages just click the right option by chance. On a short poll like this, they probably didn't even do the check.
72% would let Greenland have the decision some of them might not want to give their own opinion or simple don't have one
22% think the pollster is a CIA operative. 6% can't wait to become a fascist Andorian hellscape because surely they'll be billionaires then.
Some of them might not be sure or not care. A small percentage of around 5 percent can always be found to support pretty much anything in amy type of poll
American here, I think we should bring back expansionism and the world would be a better place if Canada, Mexico, and Greenland were all part of the US.
Fuck off, that attitude is the reason at least half the world hates your country
Also as a Canadian, I'd die fighting before I became American
Get to fuck with your neo-imperialist attitudes.
I hope you suffer under Trump, if this is really how you think.
We gotta stop feeding the trolls
Hey man, when your nation is as appealing to the rest of the world as the US is (when you have countless migrants desperate to move there), then you can take that attitude.
Until then, we're just giving the people what they want. More America.
You never see immigrants clamoring to move to Greenland, and there's a good reason for that.
American here.
I think Canada or Mexico should carve up the us and make it part of them. I also think they should leave the welfare states in the south to fend for themselves as the remainder of the us
Eww. Why would you want more mexico? Do you like cartels or something?
