From CNN:
The survey finds just 25% of Americans favor the US attempting to take control of the Danish territory. Even the president’s partisans are about evenly divided, with 50% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents saying they support it and 50% opposed.
Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents are deeply against the move, with 94% opposed overall, including 80% who say they strongly oppose it. About 8 in 10 independents who don’t lean toward either party are also opposed.
Trump said Wednesday on his social media website Truth Social that “anything less” than US control of Greenland is “unacceptable.”
The message came ahead of a meeting at the White House between Danish officials, Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio that appeared to do little to bring the two sides any closer to an agreement.
The same poll found Trump’s approval rating to be 39% with 60% disapproval.
A similar poll released by Quinnipiac University poll on Wednesday found that 86% of respondents are against the U.S. using military force to acquire the Arctic island, which is part of NATO. Just 9% are in favor of such a move.
A recent estimate by scholars and former government officials say Trump’s plans for Greenland could cost upwards of $700 billion.
I’d say we can find better use for those funds here in the U.S.
