85% of Greenlanders Oppose Joining the United States
According to a survey, 85% of Greenland’s residents oppose becoming part of the United States, despite Donald Trump’s territorial claims. Only 6% support the idea, while 9% remain undecided. Denmark’s Prime Minister welcomed the results, while Copenhagen announced a $2 billion military reinforcement in the Arctic.
Greenland Rejects U.S. Plans
Greenland, an autonomous territory under Danish control, has repeatedly been the focus of U.S. interest. Donald Trump previously stated that U.S. control over Greenland is "critically important for national security" and suggested that Denmark hand over the island.
However, a recent survey by the Varian Institute shows that Greenlanders overwhelmingly reject the idea of joining the U.S.:
- 85% oppose
- 6% support
- 9% are undecided
Denmark’s Response and Military Expansion
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen reaffirmed that Copenhagen is committed to respecting international borders and fully acknowledges the will of Greenland’s people.
In response to geopolitical tensions, Denmark has announced a $2 billion investment to strengthen its military presence in the Arctic. This move aims to secure strategic interests in a region where the U.S., Russia, and China are competing for influence.
Greenland’s Future
Greenland gained broad autonomy in 2009 and holds the right to conduct a referendum on independence. However, local leaders have repeatedly stated that the island "is not for sale" and that its future will be decided solely by its people.
For now, Greenland remains closely tied to Denmark while seeking to strengthen its economic and diplomatic standing on the global stage.
