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.

    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.

    Do the schools teach history well in Denmark? Part of the problem in the USA is that people simply don't know the history of Nazism and the Holocaust.

    I'm Norwegian, so the educational system is basically the same. Though, I'm not sure about today, but growing up in the 90's, we learned a lot about WW2, including pictures of when our elementary school was overtaken by the Nazis, so you'd think they'd be aware of it.
