According to a recent study, 85% of Greenlanders oppose Donald Trump and do not wish to join the US.

Donald Trump is rejected by Greenlanders: According to a Verian poll, only 6% of Greenlanders support joining the US, while 9% are unsure or indifferent.

The vast majority of Greenlanders, 85 percent, do not want their Arctic island to join the United States, according to an opinion poll released on Tuesday.

According to a survey by pollster Verian, only 6% of Greenlanders are in favor of joining the US, and 9% are still unsure, according to the Danish daily Berlingske.

Greenland is a Danish region with some degree of autonomy. However, earlier this month, US President Donald Trump declared that Denmark should relinquish sovereignty of the strategically significant island of Greenland because it was essential to US security.

Trump does not rule out utilizing economic or military might to accomplish his objective.

Despite Trump's threats to seize the Danish autonomous territory, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark stated that neither Greenland nor Denmark were in danger militarily.

According to news agency AFP, Frederiksen stated, "I have no reason to believe that there is a military threat to Greenland or Denmark."

Trump's assertion over the weekend that the US will "get Greenland" prompted Frederiksen to make his announcement after spending the day visiting with European leaders to rally support.

According to Reuters, Denmark said Monday that it would increase its military presence in the Arctic by spending 14.6 billion crowns ($2.04 billion).

With a population of 57,000 and a land area larger than Mexico, Greenland was given extensive self-governing powers in 2009, including the ability to hold a referendum to declare its independence from Denmark.

Prime Minister Mute Egede of Greenland, who has intensified his campaign for independence, has stated over and again that the island is not for sale and that its citizens should make the final decisions.
