US President Donald Trump has once again expressed his desire for American occupation of Greenland. He reiterated his desire after a high-level meeting between American, Danish and Greenlandic officials on Wednesday (January 14, 2026). Describing Greenland as extremely important from the point of view of American security, he said that there will be some solution to this situation. However, a survey has revealed shocking figures as to how much support American citizens have for President Donald Trump’s desire to occupy Greenland.

Reuters/Ipsos has conducted a survey on Friday (January 16, 2026) regarding this matter. According to which, less than one in five American citizens support Trump’s efforts to occupy Greenland and only one in 10 believes that the US military should use force for this.
The first question asked in the survey was whether American citizens support the attempt to occupy Greenland? In response to this question, 47 percent of Americans have answered no. At the same time, only 17 percent of the public supports the attempt to occupy Greenland. Whereas 36 percent people have given their response on Don’t know.
Second question: Should the US use military force to make Greenland and the Panama Canal its territory? On this only 10 percent Americans have answered yes. At the same time, 69% people have answered in the negative. Whereas 21 percent people have given their response as ‘don’t know’.
Third question: Should the United States use this policy to establish its dominance in Western Hemisphere affairs? According to the survey, 33 percent American citizens have agreed to this.
