Majority of Greenlanders don’t want to be American: poll ...Middle East

News by : (Daily Sun) -

Trump, who returned to the White House in late January, has signalled that he wants the Arctic island -- which is believed to hold large untapped mineral and oil reserves -- to become part of the United States and has suggested the possible use of force or tariffs to annex the autonomous Danish territory.

Six percent of those polled said they were in favour and nine percent were undecided, according to the poll conducted by the Verian agency.

“I think this poll shows very clearly that they do not want to be American,“ he said.

The poll questioned 497 respondents 18 years and older between January 22 and 26 and had a margin of error of 1.9 to 4.4 percentage points.

Officials in Greenland, which depends heavily on Denmark for subsidies, have long been pushing for independence but have said they are open to doing business with the United States.

A day after Trump was sworn in as president, Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute Egede insisted that Greenlanders “don’t want to be American”.
