Most Greenlanders oppose joining US despite Trump’s push, poll shows

Greenlanders have rejected the idea of joining the US, despite Donald Trump’s insistence that the US could provide the island with “freedom”.

A new poll shows that an overwhelming 85% of Greenlanders do not want the island to become part of the US, despite US President Donald Trump’s push to take control of the semi-autonomous Danish territory.

Trump has ramped up calls to take the world’s largest island, rich in natural resources and home to a US space facility.

“I think we are going to have it,” Trump said on Saturday, insisting the island’s 57,000 residents “want to be with us”.

However, a poll by research company Verian for newspaper Sermitsiaq in Greenland and Danish media outlet Berlingske shows only 6% of residents want to join the US, with 9% undecided.
