Nearly half of Danes see US as threat amid Greenland dispute - Poll
A further 72 per cent believe the decision on Greenland's future should rest with Greenland itself rather than Denmark.
MOSCOW - Almost half of Danish citizens view the United States as a threat to their country, reported Sputnik/RIA Novosti, based on a YouGov poll published by The Guardian on Friday.
The survey revealed that 46 per cent of some 1,000 Danes quizzed see the US as either a "very big threat" or "a fairly big threat" threat to Denmark - more than those who perceive North Korea (44 per cent) or Iran (40 per cent) as threats.
Public opposition to US President Donald Trump's bid to take control of Greenland remains strong, with 78 per cent of Danes rejecting the idea of selling the island.
A further 72 per cent believe the decision on Greenland's future should rest with Greenland itself rather than Denmark.
Trump has said it is "an absolute necessity" for the US to own Greenland, officially a part of Denmark. Greenlandic Prime Minister Mute Egede said in response that the island was not for sale.
Earlier in January, Trump's national security adviser-designate, Mike Waltz, said that Trump was ready to consider all options for acquiring Greenland, including the use of military force.
Greenland was a colony of Denmark until 1953. It remains part of the kingdom, but in 2009 it received autonomy with the ability to self-govern and make independent choices in domestic policy. - BERNAMA-SPUTNIK/RIA NOVOSTI
