Exclusive: More Danish people regard US as a threat than see North Korea or Iran as danger

Summary

A YouGov poll found that 46% of Danes view the US as a major threat, surpassing concerns about North Korea and Iran but trailing Russia (86%).

Additionally, 78% oppose selling Greenland to the US, though 72% believe Greenland should decide its own fate.

The poll follows heightened tensions over Trump’s repeated claims that acquiring Greenland is an “absolute necessity” for US economic security.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has sought European unity in response, warning of shifting relations with the US.

      Fuck off, that attitude is the reason at least half the world hates your country

      Also as a Canadian, I’d die fighting before I became American

          Who’s desperate to move there? The people from wartorn, corrupt and/or oppressive countries who just want to move anywhere else?

          Or do you mean rich people from other wealthy nations who won’t immediately go bankrupt from your broken healthcare system, and only want to move to take advantage of your completely broken tax system.

          If it’s the former, I can’t see that dream lasting much longer, what with the camps you guys aren’t wasting any time setting up.

          If it’s the latter, you can keep them.

      American here.

      I think Canada or Mexico should carve up the us and make it part of them. I also think they should leave the welfare states in the south to fend for themselves as the remainder of the us
