Most Americans say ‘no’ to Greenland takeover, with even Republicans split: poll

Americans Unify Against Greenland Takeover: A Nation's Divided Stance

In a striking demonstration of unity, a large majority of Americans have voiced their opposition to a military takeover of Greenland, a strategic Arctic territory. The public's stance stands at odds with President Trump's escalated interest in acquiring the island.

The Public Against Military Action

A recent Quinnipiac University poll reveals that an overwhelming 86% of Americans oppose military intervention to claim Greenland. This sentiment crosses party lines, with 95% of Democrats, 94% of Independents, and a significant 68% of Republicans in opposition.

Divided Opinions on a Purchase

While the majority reject military action, there is a nuanced divide over buying Greenland. Although 55% of voters are against the idea, the proposal finds support among more than two-thirds of Republicans, highlighting a stark political divide.

International Relations at Stake

President Trump's proposition has stirred tensions with Denmark and NATO allies, who advocate for Greenland's self-determination. The move is partly motivated by concerns over Chinese and Russian influence in the region, with Trump asserting that U.S. control is non-negotiable for national security.
