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.

      Mostly as a distraction while he pillages the government coffers and sells off foreign interests to Russia and China.

      I feel he saw how big it was on a typical map and thought “I can double the size of America. All we have to do is kick out these no-name unimportant suckers who happen to be there”
