Majority of Americans oppose U.S. takeover of Greenland
Washington, January 16 (Hibya) – According to a new CNN poll, three-quarters of Americans oppose the U.S. effort to take control of Greenland, showing that President Donald Trump’s push to expand America’s territory faces serious public resistance.
The poll shows that only 25 percent of Americans support the U.S. effort to take control of Danish territory. Even the president’s supporters are nearly evenly divided;
Fifty percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents support the move, while 50 percent oppose it. Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents strongly oppose the step; overall, 94 percent oppose it, including 80 percent who strongly oppose it. About 8 in 10 independents with no party affiliation also oppose it.
Nearly six in ten Americans are concerned that Trump has gone too far in his efforts to expand U.S. power over other countries. Only one-third believe his efforts are justified.
Americans are even more divided over a military operation in Venezuela.
Overall, 52 percent oppose a U.S. decision to carry out a military operation in Venezuela, while 48 percent support it. There is widespread concern about the instability of the Venezuelan government and a sense that the U.S. military would be involved for a long time.
