As President Donald Trump turns up the volume on his efforts to acquire Greenland from Denmark, two new national polls put a spotlight on the fact that most Americans oppose taking over the massive and crucially strategic island that lies between the Arctic and Atlantic oceans.<\/p>\n

Eighty-six percent of voters nationwide questioned in a Quinnipiac University poll said they would oppose military action to take over Greenland.<\/p>\n

That includes 95% of Democrats, 94% of Independents, and even more than two-thirds (68%) of Republicans surveyed by Quinnipiac late last week through Monday.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Three-quarters of Americans questioned in a CNN poll conducted at the same time said they opposed a U.S. takeover of Greenland. Ninety-four percent of Democrats and eight in 10 Independents said they would oppose such a move, with Republicans split 50%-50%.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, by a 55%-37% margin, voters questioned in the Quinnipiac survey said they opposed any U.S. effort to try and buy Greenland.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

But there’s a stark political divide on this question, with the vast majority of Democrats and nearly six in 10 Independents opposed to buying Greenland, and more than two-thirds of Republicans supporting such efforts.<\/p>\n

‘The United States needs Greenland for the purpose of national security,’ the president argued in a social media post Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And the president emphasized that ‘anything less’ than U.S. control of Greenland is ‘unacceptable.’<\/p>\n

Trump’s push for the U.S. to acquire Greenland is causing tension with Denmark and other NATO allies who insist that the semiautonomous Danish territory should determine its own future. <\/p>\n

Trump officials are openly considering all options, including military force, to take Greenland, spurring bipartisan opposition from some in Congress.<\/p>\n

Troops from several European countries deployed to Greenland this week for a brief two-day mission to bolster the territory\u2019s defenses. <\/p>\n

France, Germany, Sweden and Norway are participating in the exercise, Fox News has learned. Leaders say the mission is meant to demonstrate they can deploy military assets ‘quickly.’ <\/p>\n
