Exclusive: More Danish people regard US as a threat than see North Korea or Iran as danger

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.

    Not going to lie if I was Danish I’d probably be feeling Anti American enough to start giving China the mining contracts instead. That way if Trump does invade he’s not only going against Nato but also China.

    That said it should probably be in the hands of the Greenlanders themselves but not sure a referendum is wise looking at the likes of Brexit etc.
