Almost half of Danish people now consider the US to be a considerable threat to their country and the overwhelming majority oppose Greenland leaving to become part of the US, new polling has found.

The research by YouGov, shared exclusively with the Guardian, comes after weeks of tension between Denmark, Greenland and the US over Donald Trump’s repeated assertions that he plans to take control of the autonomous territory, which is part of the Danish kingdom.

    I think it’s surprising that it’s only 46%

      The 78% seems like a number somebody pulled out of their ass.

      Of all the many danes I’ve spoken to, only one seem to not be opposed to it. And it’s not just like minded people.

      For me it’s at least 99% whom oppose.
