NEW: Trump Doubles Down On Greenland With Stern Warning To Denmark During Davos Address

As President Donald Trump ramps up his campaign to bring Greenland under U.S. control, new national polling shows most Americans are not on board with taking over the massive, strategically located island between the Arctic and Atlantic oceans.

Trump is holding high-stakes talks on Greenland with NATO allies Wednesday during a brief stop in Davos, Switzerland, where the issue has already rattled European leaders.

On the eve of the trip, the president made clear he is not backing down. Asked at a White House news conference how far he would go to acquire the semi-autonomous Danish territory, Trump said: “You’ll find out.” He has also floated tariffs against NATO partners as leverage.

Speaking in Davos, Trump said: “I’m seeking immediate negotiations to once again discuss the acquisition of Greenland by the United States.” He added, “I don’t want to use force.”

Despite the aggressive posture, the push is running into resistance at home, including from Democrats and some Republicans on Capitol Hill. Polls suggest Americans have little appetite for a takeover.

A Quinnipiac University survey released last week found 86% of voters oppose using military force to seize Greenland. That includes 95% of Democrats, 94% of independents and 68% of Republicans surveyed Jan. 8–12.

A CNN poll conducted during the same period showed similar results, with roughly three-quarters of Americans opposing a U.S. takeover. Opposition was strongest among Democrats and independents, while Republicans were split evenly.

In a separate CBS News poll conducted Jan. 14–16, just 14% of respondents said they would support using military force to take the island.

Buying Greenland fares only slightly better with the public. By a 55%–37% margin, voters in the Quinnipiac survey said they oppose any U.S. effort to purchase the territory. Democrats and independents were overwhelmingly against the idea, while more than two-thirds of Republicans supported pursuing a deal.

Donald Trump has repeatedly argued that control of Greenland is essential, writing on social media that “The United States needs Greenland for the purpose of national security,” and warning that “anything less” than U.S. control is “unacceptable.”

The president’s campaign to acquire the island has sharply escalated tensions with Denmark and strained relations with other NATO allies, even as public support at home remains thin.
