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.
