A new poll found nearly half of Greenlanders see Trump's interest in the Arctic island as a threat; 85 percent don't want to become part of the US.

Trump has said that Greenlanders want to be part of the U.S., and a previous survey from Patriot Polling suggested a majority backed such a move, but the poll out Wednesday directly contradicts that narrative.

A poll shows very few Greenland residents have any interest in President Trump's call for the autonomous Danish territory to become part of the U.S.

An opinion poll indicated on Tuesday that 85% of Greenlanders do not wish their Arctic island - a semi-autonomous Danish territory - to become a part of the United States, Danish daily Berlingske reported.
