86 percent in new poll against US taking Greenland by force
by Max Rego - 01/14/26 1:14 PM ET
More than 8 in 10 Americans are opposed to the U.S. taking over Greenland by military force as President Trump ramps up pressure on the semi-sovereign Danish territory, according to a new survey.

The Quinnipiac University poll, released Wednesday, found that 86 percent of respondents are against the U.S. using military force to acquire the Arctic island, which is part of NATO. Just 9 percent are in favor of such a move.

Meanwhile, 55 percent of respondents oppose the U.S. attempting to purchase Greenland, with 37 percent in support, according to the survey.

A Reuter's/Ipsos poll showed just 4% support for President Donald Trump to seize Greenland by military force. Only 17% of Americans approve of Trump’s push for the US to acquire Greenland by any means.
