... Nearly half of Republicans disapprove of President Trump’s ambitions to acquire Greenland, according to a new survey.

The poll, released by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research on Friday, found that 51 percent of GOP voters approve of how the president has handled the Danish territory. Forty-eight percent of Republican respondents disapprove ...

... First, in 2019, where Kalaallit, like the rest of the world, thought it was a by-passing thought — an outrageous claim that was laughed off. Second, in December 2024, where the president-elect stated that he wanted Greenland. This time it was taken more seriously as President-elect Trump had just won the presidential election and the world was looking at four more years with him in one of the most powerful positions in the world. He then followed that up by saying that he could not rule out military or economic force.

Further, Trump’s team, which consisted of a group including his son Donald J. Trump Jr. and the now-deceased Charlie Kirk, attempted an unwelcome and insincere charm offensive ...

This blatant insincere approach to the country and its citizens did not go unnoticed by Kalaallit. So, part of the aim was to spread factually wrong statements and push for pro-Trump staged photos from Greenland to make it seem like Kalaallit Nunaat and its people were interested in becoming a part of the U.S. ...

...trying to do a "charm offensive.".... Yeah, they could certainly pull off the "offensive" part--they're naturally offensive---but those two have all the charm of a Nazi death camp commandant.

... In a new poll from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, roughly 7 in 10 Americans say they disapprove of how Trump is managing the issue of Greenland compared to only 24% who favor his approach. Greenland is a semiautonomous territory of Denmark.

This poll was conducted between Feb. 5-8, which followed Trump’s decision to dump tariffs created to pressure European countries into supporting U.S. control of Greenland, but after his weekslong push for American intervention over the island ...

Just eight per cent of Greenlanders believe it would be an advantage if Greenland became part of the United States. By contrast, 76 per cent reject the idea, while 16 per cent say they do not know.
