Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Greenlanders Overwhelmingly Oppose US Control as Denmark Reinforces Arctic Defense
Caption: Greenlanders Overwhelmingly Oppose US Control as Denmark Reinforces Arctic Defense. A new poll shows that 85% of Greenlanders oppose becoming part of the US, with only 6% in favor and 9% undecided. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has reinforced support from European and Nordic allies, insisting Greenland’s status must be respected. Donald Trump has argued that Greenland is crucial for US national security and suggested Denmark should relinquish control of the semi-autonomous island. The Danish leader stated that international partners firmly back Denmark’s control, emphasizing that territorial integrity is fundamental to global stability. In response to growing geopolitical interest, Denmark has committed £1.6 billion to enhancing its military presence in the Arctic. Since 2009, Greenland has enjoyed broad self-governing autonomy, including the right to declare full independence via referendum. Prime Minister Mute Egede has reiterated that Greenland is not for sale, emphasizing that only its people can determine their future. Despite its small population of 57,000, Greenland’s vast landmass—larger than Mexico—makes it a key player in Arctic geopolitics. The Pituffik Space Base in northwest Greenland remains a crucial site for America’s ballistic missile early-warning system. While the US sees Greenland as strategically vital, Denmark and Greenlandic leaders insist its fate will be decided by its own people.
