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.

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.
