Greenland held an election yesterday, it was not an election on whether or not to be independent, but based on which party one, it’s clear Greenland is not drooling to be part of the United States. Heck, even Americans are not happy with Trump destroying the federal government.
I saw in a comment that Trump was called “The orange truffle hunting pig needs to be on a short leash.”
Greenland Election Results: What It Means For Donald Trump’s Plans
Both Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland’s outgoing Prime Minister Múte Bourup Egede have repeatedly rejected Trump’s suggestions.
In January, Egede said Greenlanders “don’t want to be American,” whilst Frederiksen insisted “there must be respect for territory and the sovereignty of states.”
A poll conducted in January by Verian, on behalf of the Danish newspaper Berlingske and Greenlandic publication Sermitsiaq, found that only six percent of Greenlanders were in favor of the territory coming under U.S. sovereignty.
In contrast, 85 percent were opposed to the idea, whilst nine percent said they were unsure. The survey took place between January 22 and 27 and included 497 Greenlandic citizens over the age of 18.
