The poll, conducted for Danish newspaper Berlingske and Greenland’s Sermitsiaq, surveyed 497 citizens. Only 6% expressed a desire to leave the Danish Realm for the U.S., while 45% of respondents explicitly described Trump’s interest in their territory as a threat. Denmark’s Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen dismissed the push, stating that Greenland belongs to its own people.
Trump has recently escalated rhetoric regarding the island, refusing to rule out military force to secure what he deems vital national interests. His administration has cited geopolitical competition with China and Russia, alongside Greenland’s vast mineral wealth, as primary motivations. However, Greenlandic Prime Minister Múte Egede has remained firm, declaring that the territory is not for sale and emphasizing the nation's ongoing pursuit of independence from Denmark.
