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.
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.
Get a train and do it yourself.
I've been looking for any possible way that an average Joe can make a difference and havent been able to come up with any plan. So now I have one. Will go out after work and see about buying a train.
Trump does not want Greenland, never did. He also doesn't care about the gulf of Mexico or Panama cannel.
It's just a distraction and negative media overload method that he uses. And you know what, it works. Here we are talking about this and not the serious things.
As a European, I would say a US president repeatedly theatening a EU country with invasion is already pretty serious in itself.
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.
I hope you get deported.
You don’t need to “own” greenland for that, you could have lighter security like the EU has with say Switzerland.
As an American, I agree, who the fuck cares of that orange turd wants it. He's a monster
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

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%.
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.
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.
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
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?
What is the real reason trump wants Greenland?
Rare earth minerals, exclusive arctic economic zone... and a theoretically easy territorial expansion to ensure his unconstitutional reelection.
Mostly as a distraction while he pillages the government coffers and sells off foreign interests to Russia and China.
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"
- sincerely, every imperialist nation to ever exist.
An excuse to access the war purse strings.
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.
Calm everyone. Trump does not want Greenland, never did. He also doesn't care about the gulf of Mexico or Panama cannel.
It's just a distraction and negative media overload method that he uses. And you know what, it works. Here we are talking about this and not the serious things.

Doesn't matter if it's a distraction or not. If Trump takes Greenland it will break NATO completely, and when Trump threatens to take Greenland, it weakens NATO and that can lead to all sorts of problems ... just not necessarily for the US.
