Greenland’s population is overwhelmingly against leaving the Danish realm in favor of the US, dealing a blow to President Donald Trump’s insistence the island is keen to join.

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.

    “The people of Greenland are not happy with Denmark,” Trump said Jan. 21. “You know, I think they’re happy with us.”

    This is pretty much the same shit Putin said before invading Ukraine

    Having said that, the US is great at invading. Have no doubt, they would overrun the country in a day.

    Having said that, the US is absolutely terrible at occupying and keeping territory, any territory. At least since WWII they never managed to hold anything and always got its ass kicked like there is no tomorrow. Afghanistan, anyone? Iraq? Vietnam? All success stories. The US invading Greenland would be it’s undoing.
