Greenland Poll: 85% to 6% against joining US [View all]

A new poll shows that an overwhelming 85% of Greenlanders do not want the island to become part of the US, despite US President Donald Trump's push to take control of the semi-autonomous Danish territory.

Trump has ramped up calls to take the world's largest island, rich in natural resources and home to a US space facility.

"I think we are going to have it," Trump said on Saturday, insisting the island's 57,000 residents "want to be with us".

However, a poll by research company Verian for newspaper Sermitsiaq in Greenland and Danish media outlet Berlingske shows only 6% of residents want to join the US, with 9% undecided.
