In general, do you support Trump’s push to acquire Greenland by using economic pressure on America’s NATO allies?

Support (15%) – "The acquisition of Greenland is vital to a wide range of interests for the United States. This administration is continuing a long tradition, dating back to Jefferson, of acquiring territory through a peaceful means, proposing to compensate the residents of Greenland, as well as the nation of Denmark. This is exactly the same manner in which the US acquired the territory of Alaska and the Louisiana Purchase. Modern pundits are opposed to this move, largely because it was proposed by Trump. They refuse to see the security and resources that would be made available by such an acquisition. They are the embodiment of the old adage, "Cut off your nose to spite your face.""

• "It is a legitimate concern that Russia and/or China could take the island over and be at America's doorstep. After all, it is the shortest way from Asia to the United States. So it makes absolute strategic sense. Denmark can't defend it and NATO is scrambling to keep Russia in Ukraine at bay. Doubtful that they'd be able to handle it. So we'll have to take care of it ourselves. We purchased Alaska and that was wise looking back at history. We should do the same or something similar with Greenland."

Oppose (81%) – "The states security goals do not require US ownership of Greenland, so it seems like this weird push for control is driven by some combination of ego and greed for the profit that could follow. Meanwhile the cost of tariffs is born by American consumers and businesses as always, and we are jeopardizing NATO and our strongest alliances with Europe."

• "Greenland is sovereign. Also DJT wants this island for their rare earth minerals and oil. It's not for the reason of USA national security. USA can open up more military bases as per the 1951 agreement. This is a snow job by DJT."

"1. Greenland clearly isn’t interested. 2. His American first policy is making America last in the eyes of the world. Americans will bear the brunt of these tariffs. 3. No one has even mentioned if it were for sale, how much it would cost. Ultimately, we have too many problems in America that need to be dealt with before this ridiculous situation. Release the Epstein files."

• "To be frank, it just doesn’t make sense. We don’t have to own Greenland to push for a more strategic position—instead, maybe negotiating for more mineral rights and utilizing the military and economic stake we already are allowed to have further makes more sense than, like, buying or conquering a place nobody wants us to."

"The US already has a pretty good deal with Greenland. We have a military base and the option for more. We have mineral rights deals. Sure - acquiring Greenland makes financial and defensive sense. I don't think it's worth throwing yet another tantrum on a world wide scale, but I don't think the idea is as outright stupid as some people think it is. But, as always, the way the president is going about it - being a bully, threatening violence unless he gets his way, sending petulant text messages to world leaders... now Europe can't back down. They have to stand together and they have to stand up to the bully, even if it's financially hard for them in the short term."

• "How is Greenland different than any other Country? Can we take over Canada & Mexico because they are needed for our National security? Wouldn’t that allow Russia to retake the old USSR countries and more for its security. The same with China taking over Taiwan and maybe more."

"We have numerous closed military bases already on Greenland. Why not just reopen these if we need more military presence? Greenland is already our partner in NATO. It makes no sense to alienate our allies when there is already a way to have the defenses this administration says it needs."

• I understand the military importance of securing Greenland but don’t feel like we need to take it over. We don’t just take over every country we feel is militarily important. I feel this is a money grab for the minerals, if not for that, it wouldn’t even be a discussion."

Unsure/other (4%) – "This one has me stumped. As an independent, I always try to look past the partisan noise. Even with reading numerous articles about this, and looking (briefly) into the history around Greenland and past presidents trying to control it, I can't figure out if it's brilliant or insane. I guess only time will tell."
