Four out of ten Danes believe Trump will invade Greenland
Meanwhile, Trump has said that America will do "something" with Greenland: "If we don't do it right, we will do it wrong."
Nearly four out of ten Danish citizens believe the US will invade Greenland's autonomous territory while Donald Trump is president, according to a Voxmeter poll for the Ritzau agency.
Specifically, 38% believe that the US will take control of the Arctic island by force.
Asked if they believe that the US will invade Greenland when Donald Trump is president, 10% say they are, and only 28.3% say they are.
On the other hand, 28.6% stated in a survey of 1,005 Danish inhabitants from 6 to 9 January that they "disagree" or "totally disagree" with this hypothesis.
Trump said on Friday that he will not allow "Russia or China to occupy Greenland, "so he has decided to" do something, good or bad, "with Denmark's autonomous territory.
The President of the United States believes that Washington must control the island for security reasons: "Because right now there are Russian destroyers around Greenland, there are Chinese destroyers, and there are Russian submarines everywhere."
Moreover, he doubted the sovereignty of Denmark over the country, though he acknowledged that he admired the country of Scandinavia: "Landing there with a ship 500 years ago does not mean that they own that land."
But there's no interest in Greenland becoming part of the US.
On Friday night, the five parties to the Greenland parliament issued a joint communiqué stating that the future of Greenland must be decided by the people of Greenland.
"We don't want to be Americans, we don't want to be Danes, we want to be Greenlanders," the leaders of the five parties wrote. "The future of our country must be decided by ourselves, without pressure to make a quick decision, without delay or interference from other countries."
