Most Americans oppose Trump's push on Greenland, poll shows [View all]

[AZProgressive]

Americans broadly oppose President Donald Trump’s latest foreign policy ambitions in Greenland, according to a new poll released Thursday, and are skeptical about U.S. incursions abroad.

In a CNN poll released Thursday, 75 percent of those surveyed oppose the U.S. “attempting to take control of Greenland,” including 52 percent who strongly reject the idea. Just one in four respondents said they support efforts to acquire the semi-autonomous Danish territory, which Trump has argued is vital to U.S. national security and strengthening NATO.

Self-described Republicans were evenly split, with 50 percent supporting the president’s efforts and 50 percent opposing them. Democrats were far less divided, with 94 percent opposing the move overall, including 80 percent who said they strongly oppose it.

Americans were also skeptical about the stated motives behind U.S. intervention. A majority of Americans said access to Venezuelan oil played a major role in the decision to take military action, while 39 percent said a major factor was to bring Maduro to stand trial in the U.S., and 26 percent said it was to improve the lives of Venezuelans.

I know we don't need a poll to know it isn't a good idea but I think it is good that Americans not only oppose this but also other parts of Trump's foreign policy.
