US Support for Greenland Takeover is Disheartening: Polls Show Widespread Opposition to Trump's Ambitions
A Reuters/Ipsos poll of over 1,200 US adults has revealed that a mere 17% support the United States' efforts to acquire Greenland, sparking concerns that President Trump's aggressive stance on the Danish territory may not have the backing of his own nation.
Even more alarming is the finding that just 4% of respondents believed it was a good idea to seize control of Greenland by force. The White House has maintained an open door for military intervention, despite the fact that the island belongs to NATO ally Denmark.
Trump's record on military interventions is another point of contention, with a recent AP/NORC poll showing that 56% of Americans believe he has overstepped his bounds abroad. This sentiment is particularly strong among Democrats and independents, with nearly 90% of Democrats and roughly 60% of independents saying Trump has "gone too far" on military intervention.
Republicans are more divided, but still largely supportive of Trump's actions. A whopping 71% of Republicans believe that Trump's actions have been "about right," while only about 10% want him to take further action. This stark contrast highlights the deepening divide within Trump's own party over his policies.
The latest developments on Greenland come as Denmark has begun deploying advanced troops to the island in response to Trump's aggressive posturing. The situation is a complex and sensitive one, with implications for international relations and US foreign policy that will likely be closely watched by politicians and diplomats around the world.

. Like, what's the appeal? And only 4% think it's a good idea to just take control by force? That's some next-level aggression right there 
.
And it's not like Greenland is even a strategic location or anything.
It's just not right. And to make matters worse, 4% of people think it's okay to invade a country by force? That's just crazy talk. I'm not sure what Trump is thinking, but he needs to listen to his own people on this one. It's time for him to take a step back and rethink our foreign policy. We need leaders who prioritize diplomacy over aggression, you know? 
17% support but only 4% think it's a good idea to take it by force... that's low even for Trump's standards 
56% of people believe he's overstepped his bounds abroad which is pretty much everyone except Republicans who are all on team Trump 
or what happened in afghanistan? anywayz, gotta respect denmark's move in deployin troops there. can't let trump get his way on everything 
especially when its about another country like denmark. its not just about trump being a divisive figure, its about whats good for america too? shouldnt we be more careful with our words & actions abroad? 17% of americans supporting this is pretty low imo... and yeah i can see why republicans are all over it - but doesnt that create tension within the party? 
#NotMyPresident Trump's obsession with Greenland is super concerning and honestly kinda sad, considering all the more pressing issues we should be focusing on 
#PeacefulResolutionsMatter. And can we talk about the deepening divide within Trump's party? 
#DividedWeFall. Anyways, let's keep an eye on this situation and hope it doesn't escalate into something crazy 
#StayTuned
and to top it off republicans are still behind him on this like wut r they even thinkin?! 
71% believe he's doin the right thing? no way fam that's just not true 
️. It shows how much his actions are causing divisions within his own party, both parties actually... 17% support it? that's super low 
.
. Denmark's move to deploy troops to Greenland in response seems like a total reasonable thing to do 
, but I guess we'll see what happens next 
. I mean, think about it - taking over another country just because we can? It's like something out of a bad movie 
. Trump's actions are super divisive, especially among Democrats who are already worried about his approach to foreign policy. And let's not forget, Greenland is actually part of NATO, so this move feels really reckless 
. I hope Denmark can handle this on its own and that we don't see any more escalation 
It's like, calm down, dude! We don't need any more drama on our plates. And those numbers on military interventions? Yeah, most Americans aren't having it. 56% says he's gone too far... that's pretty clear to me 
like what even is going through his head 
especially with denmark deploying troops to the island 
. And Denmark's deploying troops on the island? That's just crazy talk
