When Fox says that reactions are mixed, it means they said "no".
Out of thousands they finally find one that agrees and give him full coverage 😂

I agree with you. But the other side of it is that they don't understand how beneficial it would be for them. *[Fact]* Everything there is getting old and needs replacing. Their ships for example. And yes, Denmark is well aware of the infrastructure $$$ 💉 needed. They choose not to.
@@theninearemine8499 it might not be beneficial for them. I suspect that the people of Puerto Rico would be better off as part of Denmark
Greenland has unmistakably said they don't want to join the US. And Greenland is not some sort of grocery you can go shopping for.
Actually it is.

Wrong. We just don't care about Puerto Rico. It's not strategically important. Greenland IS strategically important.

@@conniehansen4731 I apologize for my sarcasm. I am Swedish. Anyone I know stands with our Danish neighbours and the people of Greenland. I just received a t-shirt ”It’s spelled GREENLAND, not GREEDLAND”. It’s still too chilly to wear it, though.
We don't even think about to be part of USA. We don't want to be part of USA. We are not Danes nor Americans. We are Greenlanders. And Greenland is for Greenlanders. If we have to chose between USA and Denmark. We will chose Denmark. That is it!!!
Without Denmark or america, china and Russia will assert their authority on Greenland. Mark my words.

@@stormhawk31
The USA is not even among the top 10 countries.
Don't kid yourself.
"Numbeo's Quality of Life Index, the U.S. News Best Countries Report, and the United Nations' Human Development Index provide distinct methodologies to measure and rank countries' quality of life or standard of living.
Norway, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, and Netherlands consistently ranked in the top 10 countries in terms of quality of life or standard of living according to the most recent data from all three mentioned institutions.
Safety, health care, economic factors (including affordability), and education are factors commonly used in assessments by Numbeo, U.S. News, and the United Nations."
@@stormhawk31ur funny look at all the homeless, all the ppl smoking fentanyl, the gun violence not even mentioning mass shootings, pollution, economic problems and plus the fact the US turned incarceration into a business so no it's not. Nordic countries are the best along with Switzerland and Austria. Germany used to be but after WW2 with the cold war it took it's toll.
My main concern is how to survive all of these financial and political crisis, especially in light of the US political power scuffle. The government has really called things more difficult for its citizens, and we can't sit back and bear all the consequences of the bad governance.
Honestly, I want to give my gratitude to Elise Murray. Thanks to her I knew about the trump coin. I made $700k
Same here, I made $1 million.
I must say she’s really good at analyzing and strategizing
You work for 40 years to have 1 million dollars in your retirement.
Meanwhile, some people are investing just $10,000 in a meme coin for a few months, sometimes less, and now they're billionaires. I pray that anyone reading this will be successful in life.
I agree that hiring a portfolio coach is a smart move and that in this case, patience is your best friend. I make a lot of investments and cannot afford to take the risk of doing it alone. Instead, since the corona outbreak began in late 2019, my portfolio has been maintained by a qualified advisor. I only need about $86k more to reach my one million dollar ROI goal.

Same goes for the other narrative. Who knows what Greenlanders actually want?
It doesn’t really matter anyway because the bigger nation always gets what it wants.
Imperialism is on the rise in other countries as well. China, Russia, United States, and Venezuela are making demands.
Don’t be foolish.

@@YukeyBoy-y8xShut up you moron.

@@prandomable They want to be free so when they sell Greenland to Trump they won't have to split the proceeds with Denmark.
Good idea to ask a convicted drug dealer 🤣
Well done Fox News.
You dont want mexican drug dealers , only a drug dealer from Greenland who says want you like to hear, 😅
Greenland is unhappy and frustrated about their road from being a territory to an independent country is moving too slow. As it is now, there are more than 30 areas where Greenland instantly would be able to set themselves free and could rule on their own but unfortunately cannot afford to without Denmark paying for it, like something as simple as having their own police and prison system.
They are not unhappy about their new luxurious prison in Nuuk and expensive infrastructure, free health care, free day care, paid sick leave, the right to 6 weeks fully paid vacation a year + all holydays, 52 weeks of fully paid parental leave, free University college and the right to live and work anywhere in the EU all being a subsidy by the Danish Government. Rights and privileges that do not exist in the USA.
Despite of what Trump is saying, Greenland are actually 100% in control of their own resources and environmental issues, so they can mine and drill as little or as much as they want with no interference from Denmark, while Denmark is subsidizing Greenland with around $13,500 ( 98,300 Danish Crowns) per citizen a year (including courts, police and prison system an other areas run by Denmark), while the state that receives highest funding from the US federal government is Alaska at less than $9,000 per citizen which is very high compared to other states, and again, Greenland would only be considered a territory and not a state, should they join the USA.
Trump has wrongfully been blaming Denmark for environmental laws that prevent extensive mining and drilling in Greenland, but Denmark has no such control. Greenland is very protective when it comes to their unspoiled nature, because the Inuit are a highly nature loving people, so the strict environmental laws have all been implemented by Greenland and not Denmark.
Besides losing all of the above, their goal of being an independent country, and not just a territory most surely would be a total no-go if they were to join the USA. Greenland have two seats in the Danish Parliament, but the whole 31 seat Parliament in Greenland stand politically either to the left of, or in around the same place as a "Bernie Sanders", so you can be 100% sure that MAGA and the Republicans would never want them to be a State with seats in the Senate and House of Representatives.
We have on the other hand seen enough of US behavior against their own territories and citizens to know, that if Greenland were to sign up to join the USA, Trump and a tiny ultra rich US elite would make sure that their rich hand-puppet politicians would implement new legislation, that make it possible to mistreat and rob Greenland of all their resources.
Like giving away very cheap and favorable mining and drilling rights and handing out huge tax rebates, that will all hurt the Greenlandic economy, not to forget, to undo the Greenlandic environmental laws the highly nature loving Inuit's have in place to save their unspoiled nature. Fortunately it's never going to happen.
surprise surprise fox found a bootlicker 😂😂
Greenland needs the US as a friend, ally, industrial and trading partner.
They had that already. What they don't need is for the US to take away their Autonomy that they have with Greenland.
They already are all those things.
What have you been smoking?
But Greenland doesn't need to become USA...
The US will take Greenland
Faced with reality it’s US, Russia or China Greenland doesn’t really have much of a choice. The US is the only one who will ask what Greenlander’s want. One of those three will end up controlling Greenland it’s become too strategic to let someone else occupy it.
There is no evidence that China and Russia is conquering Greenland. If they do. That would be an attack on NATO.
Anyway Trump is using Russia and China (as an excuse) to steal Greenland's natural resources that belongs to the Danish and the Greenlanders'!!
NATO already protect Greenland. They won't allow Russia and/or China to take it either. And neither will Denmark tolerate Trump stealing Greenland...as they've said countless times that they are NOT for sale...
And Trump have already threatened to use military force to take Greenland.
You seem to think they are going to roll out the welcome wagon for you. I dont think so, these are descendants of the Norse peoples (thats Vikings for you stupid yanks).
No, you are completely wrong. NATO is already the security guarantee through founding member Denmark's membership. A U.S., China or Russia takeover will never happen, because EU legislation obliges ALL member states to actively defend all member states' sovereignty. None of the three autocracies mentioned would take on the entire EU, including the French nuclear defense. It's a non-burger.
Never mind who is the beautiful woman that's reporting....
I noticed that, too.

NO is a two letter word. Why is it impossible to understand. Mr. Boassen shall look at the GDP for the US Virgin Islands. Bought from Denmark after WWI. Their GDP was 30% lower than Greenlands in 2023. 41kUSD per Capita in 2023. vs 57k USD per Capita in 2023 for Greenland. Good by to free hospitals and education.
everyone knows trump doesn't know what consent is
Partnership is the Key and hope there is bilateral relationship with US and Greenland.
That's EXACTLY the direction things should go.
How can you have a relationship with someone who says he wants to take you over? Let's be serious...
@pierre10000 Very easily. The same way we have a relationship with the Federated States of Micronesia, or our other territories.
@@stormhawk31 I hope that this is not the approach you took with your wife when you married her.

As a Greenlander I would like to join the USA.
you are free to leave but they aint real friendly to migrants at the moment.
You are a minority then. Most wants to be Greenlandic. And not Danish NOR the Americans. If you want to join USA you are free to go to USA and leave your Greenland...🎉🎉🎉

Is that what you told the indigenous people of North America too?
No other country wants to join the failed experiment called America.
You probably didn't even know of Greenland 3 months ago!
@ They told them that the British crown wasnt there to protect them anymore, move or die.
Joining the USA, it will bring all the peace (protection) and prosperity (investments and jobs) for Greenlanders.
BS
They already have that because Denmark is NATO but the USA will exploit Greenland for oil and other resources.
Greenlanders cant work in fabrics , they are hunters .
As Greenland is via Denmark NATO member. And members have pledge to support in case of invation. If the US invade. Then the US would also protect it by sending the military to fight the US😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂
Trump's next move is to 'EXIT NATO'. Like he did with The Paris Agreement... He is A Businessman, and the reason he want to buy Greenland is to MINING AND DRILL the sh.t out of the Country....!!! And destroying it.. For him the defense talk comes second... Truly.. 🤮
Why on earth would Greenland want to lower their standard of living by becoming a U.S. colony?! LOLOLOLOLOLOL
That's a stupid thing to say. You clearly don't know what you're talking about.
@@stormhawk31 Why was that a stupid thing to say?
@EdwardLangeland Because US citizens have a higher standard of living than folks in Greenland.
@@stormhawk31 who wants toxic food, poisonous water, no health care and bible studies instead of education?

@@HanginInSF And they get free education, just ask Pocahontas.
That would be the biggest mistake Greenlanders could make outside of total Independence. Right now Denmark has given them almost full autonomy to run their country as they see fit and they are protected by Denmark, a member of NATO, so they are essentially protected by NATO. Denmark only wants the best for Greenland, while Trump wants the vast supply of their untapped resources of minerals and oil and Greenland would lose the Autonomy that they have with Denmark.
I know that most Greenlanders think that they would like total independence, but that would leave them unprotected and either Russia, China, or unbelievably, the US would annex them in a heartbeat.
If their relationship to the US changed, it would most likely be VERY similar to what they have with Denmark, except they'd get a LOT more money and MUCH better protection and investment.
@@stormhawk31that's where you are wrong. Do some proper research before you make such a claim.
@@lisbetsoda4874 YOU are the one who needs to "do some research". You honestly think Denmark can pay more than we can? 😂😂😂😂😂
@ and a lot less control over their Country.
@@65MrBubba A lot MORE control over their country. The US would interfere LESS than Denmark because we don't have a colonial history with Greenland like Denmark does.

Nah he was clueless. Greenland is perfectly well protected. The current arrangements worked well enough to keep the more serious threat of the Soviet Union at bay during the cold war. There's no potential adversary that could invade Greenland.
@garyyoung3179 how long have you legally resided in Greenland?
@ I've merely visited, but it's been the key focus of the Royal Navy along with other NATO partners to protect the GIUK gap, particularly so during the Cold War. Any adversary that wished to invade Greenland would have to sail past Northern Scandanavia, the UK and Iceland. Not something that could be achieved unopposed and neither Russia nor China have the sealift or amphibious capacity to do so.

@@FosterTravis1071 no they are not Greenlanders are proud to be Greenlanders.
Not for sale..?? 😯😆😂🤣🥴
... is that all the Greenlanders or just the ones you have picked out? ..
Honestly, I don't really care much about whether or not we purchase Greenland. Especially if Greenlanders themselves don't want to be part of the US, not even as a territory, then we shouldn't force them as I'm not the type that stands for us as a country and superpower to invade and conquer other nations/territories against their wills.
That said, I understand and appreciate the national security risks posed by Greenland falling in the hands/under the control of our adversaries and could game theory several scenarios that could realistically happen. And my fear is that that will happen without our knowledge (at least not soon enough) either voluntary by Greenland/Denmark, or forcefully. If Greenland is taken over forcibly, both Greenland and especially Denmark will 100% reach out to us the US and ask for our assistance to aid and protect them (and of course they'd expect us to get involved in that war free of charge). Greenland obviously doesn't have the military power to defend themselves against Russia, China or even N.K. Denmark falls in that same category as well and that's assuming they've even committed military aid/assistance to Greenland which the Greenlanders themselves admit they receive no such support from Denmark as it is. So one way or another, we'll *have* to occupy and protect/defend Greenland, whether they'll belong to us or not and whether there remains "peace" between BRICS and the US or not. And in that scenario, I'd say it'll be more beneficial to all 3 parties if Greenland becomes part of the US in whatever capacity they choose, than how things are like right now which is Greenland being a major liability for the US (and I'm strictly referring to them as a liability the same way Ukraine has been since their invasion)
As a part of the Kingdom of Denmark, which is a founding member of NATO, Greenland already has the best protection, it could ever get. ALL NATO members are obliged to defend Greenland, as per the NATO treaty, so it is absolute nonsense to talk about the U:S. "protecting" Greenland better by any new devices.
It's just an excuse for Trump's fascist pipe dream of expanding U.S. territory AND stealing Danish and Greenlandic natural resources.
Greenlanders, come on in. The water is warm.
it's tepid swamp water, that's what it is.
@@martinmclean5985 Don’t be fooled Greenlanders….its warm because trump pissed in the pool.
Take your pick China, Russia, or the USA. There’s no way Denmark could hold it in this new world.
The Soviet Union during the cold war was a more serious threat and Greenland was secure. It's under less threat from either Russia or China.
@@garyyoung3179Greenland was secure because the US was there protecting it - the same reason it's secure now. If it was solely up to Denmark, they'd be speaking Russian right now.
They need to vote on this..and send Laura Trump to help with voting systems to secure safe and uncontrolled voting. This reporting is a false representation of what these people truly want..they want and need a strong humane and fare government.
The current electoral system in use in Greenland is extremely safe, and more than difficult to tamper with. And only the Greenlandic government can call a referendum on this. A democractically and freely elected government.

Why is it super important fot the US to have bases in Greenland. Protect from who... Nobody near there is threatening the US. BTW the US does not need 950 bases worldwide to "protect" itself. More like occupy others... FYI, if you are so wurried about the Ruskies, Alaska is a stone throw away from Russia, be more worried there.
I think Greenlanders should close the US military base.
From an outside perspective it doesn’t make much sense to oppose this. Denmark has neglected Greenland and controlled what they can do with their resources. Becoming a territory of the richest and most powerful country in the world that wants you to be more independent is an absurd thing to reject.
To believe that USA control/ownership of Greenland would mean more independence for the greenlandic people is absurd!!!
@ who are you?
China wants Greenland?
@@Nate-yv9mcwho are you?
@@kvabskalleIt wouldn't change much for the people of Greenland though.
56000 people can't afford the military to protect it from the new open passages.
Denmark along with NATO allies is perfectly able to effectively Police any future sea routes through the Arctic, none of which are yet viable year round.
@@RebeccaPerry-Piper-u8x No you don't. All the US has is a radar station and a runway. Denmark has F35 jets. Besides that it's Iceland and NATO' s presence in the North Atlantic and GIUK gap that keeps Greenland secure. There's no potential adversary that could physically invade Greenland. Any potential threat has to sail past Scandanavia, the UK and Iceland to pose any threat to Greenland. Anyway considering it's the Socialist party with the largest number of seats in the Greenland Parliament I doubt you'd want more left leaning members in the House and
Senate if Greenland became a State.
@@RebeccaPerry-Piper-u8xGreenland doesn't need to become a state, just a protectorate of some sort.
@@RebeccaPerry-Piper-u8x That's a stupid statement. A State is a VERY different thing than a protectorate. If you don't know the difference, you shouldn't be commenting about it.
@@RebeccaPerry-Piper-u8x I'm not saying that it won't (though I doubt it will), or that it would be a bad thing if it did. I'm just saying that it doesn't HAVE to become a State in order for it to come under the umbrella of the US. That's all.
They probably think about it being the craziest ideas for about a century.
Without America, Greenland would have fallen into bad situation.Don't forget that during WWII American troop was there to protect Greenland.
2025, different time now. How about we let Greenland be independent if the want, do trade and mining investments and maybe just for once respect people boundaries? It's not like they won't let America put up more bases etc.
Are you insane? Have all of you trumpists left sanity behind?
Not really to protect Greenland, but to prevent German occupation, which would make German attacks on the USA possible. Also, at the time the US started to produce military equipment including air craft for the UK, it was safer to fly over Greenland than shipping across the Atlantic. Greenland was therefore important as a stepping stone between the US and the UK. A deal was negotiated between the US Government and the Danish Ambassador to the US.
@@o.3464 LOL. it ticks you off huh? Just be cool man. Wait and see. Trump's talk shakes your boots already. It would be a disaster for Greenland if it falls into your weak hand. LOL.
No it was sued an air base not to protect Greenland, get your facts right before talking rubbish.
I'd love to join the US. Trump, please help us in Illinois
What about health care?
Why called Greenland?
I read a long time ago it was named Greenland to attract people to populate the country…
Because a norseman was exiled, and ended up there. Its says that when he was there it had green meadow, so he called it greenland hoping to attract settlers to the area.
It was named Greenland by the people of Iceland. They did this to make people think it was better than Iceland, but in fact, Iceland is greener than Greenland. This trick was employed by the Vikings to deter potential rivals if I remember correctly.
Because “Iceland” was already taken
Because its green and a land
Reserve 10% of all oil and mineral rights for the current 56k Greenlanders in perpetuity. They will be lining up to come over.
@gregtolley3455
Why when they can benefit from royalties on the other 90% if they stay independent....
Again what does this have to do with national security`?
You do know the entire world is watch and US reputation is on the line, good luck finding allies ever again if you step out of line my friend
@@senhorinhapereira334 they won't stay independent long if they break away from the danes. China will set up shop in short order and then they'll have nothing
not one will come over, USA has nothing to offer
Since autonomy in 2009, Greenlanders control 100% of oil and mineral rights.
57k residents? The US might not need to purchase Greenland - just push for independence from Denmark and put a couple of large military bases on the island, or wait for independence and pay off several politicians to allow 60k Americans to immigrate to Greenland...........
Essentially what you are saying is for the US to do to Greenland what they have done to the Indian tribes of America including the original inhabitants of Alaska. Hasn't American Historyu got enough black marks of shame against it already? Do we need another?
@@65MrBubba Many indigenous people were at least as cruel to one another as colonists. Example: Aztecs. In addition, most people of indigenous descent are better off with modernity. I don't know why this is controversial, either. If I were of an indigenous heritage, despite all of the Western world's shortcomings, I couldn't imagine going back to a time of nomadic savagery, acute physical and nutritional need, tribal skirmishes over hunting grounds and natural resources, and cultish sacrificial practices....... (BTW: lightweights may consider my above views as 'white supremacist' or some other trendy, knee-jerk rebuttal. They are not, and I have never viewed one race as superior to another or more valued. I believe, however, that if 1000 years ago the Inuit or Apache or Mayan or any other indigenous culture was vastly advanced in technology and with a fundamentally incoherent view of the cosmos, they would have used high tech boats and weapons to invade Europe and Africa to extract resources.)
@@LowcardTravelandFishing Have you ever been to an Indian Reservation? They are obviously NOT better off today, despite all the hardships and treachery they received from the White Man over the years.
I heard that they want to join with canada
Let's see a true balanced and fair debate
On US corporate media ? 😂😂😂😂😂
Greenland aware they have the backyard for the countries to watch each other . Question at hand , which country ready to sign a blank check
Who is going to invade, The logistics would be beyond anybody bar the USA or UK both are in nato
Join the USA and Canada and we'll build a better future for all of us. Rising tide lifts all boats. 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🇬🇱
Imbecile!
na
Hold on there Yank...We are still and indepenant country and most Canadians want it that way..
Canada has never had colonial aspirations, that said there are cultural ties between the people of Nunavut in Canada and the people of Greenland. Should Greenland ask certain we could talk about them becoming a Canadian territory. I think it clear they like Canada who want to be friends with the US but not part of the US.
LOL, from an Albertan.
Canada owns the northwest passage.
No it doesn't. LOL
@@stormhawk31Canada says it belongs to them...the US and some European countries say it's international waters.
@annebjerrisgaard2904 Canada and the Europeans are WRONG.
@@stormhawk31
If the US owned the arctic (which it doesn’t) do you think they would allow traffic to freely pass through it?
Not a chance.
@CaptPike787 No, we don't own the entire Arctic, nor have we ever claimed to. Seven or eight nations have various Arctic claims, INCLUDING the US. And would we allow traffic to freely pass through it? As long as they're peaceful, yes. When we controlled the Panama Canal (which we will again very soon come Hell or high water), we allowed EVERYONE to pass through it peacefully. I don't know where this idea that the US is the world's bad guy came from, but it's idiotic. We have spent more blood and treasure defending other people's freedom than ANY other nation on Earth. And frankly? We're SICK of it. Time for everyone else to look out for themselves while we do the same.
Greenland should vote on the issue.
They've said no repeatedly.
Eventually they will findma date to vote for independence, not Amrican nor Danish but Greenlander's !
Even if they vote yes, we should get to vote no on it since we will end up being forced to pay billions of dollars for the welfare program that gets put there if they would become part of the US
@0Kimm.J Then that should be that... Greenland, is Autonomous Territory of the State of Denmark. Just like 51 States are Autonomous States of District of Colombia
Actually, Greeland does not have a say in it, because Greeland is Denmark.
@ricka.a. I have looked at the "polls" you mentioned...only 416 ppl were asked, so I wouldn't exactly call it a slam dunk.
It's a benefit for both
Why?`?
They lose their free healthcare, free education, social welfare and take on a 36t national debt...
Yes it benefit both... Would you do it?
@@legatilegions8055Americans think they're a gift to the world.
@@legatilegions8055None of that would happen. They'd remain just as they are. The only difference is that they'd replace Denmark with the US, and get a much larger yearly stipend from the US. Their government, domestic policies, politics, etc. would all remain the same. They wouldn't become a State. Why would they?
@@stormhawk31 They got a bautiful country that they dont want greedy americans with their "we dont believe in climate change" views, i would guess, stepping out of the paris deal did not help
@legatilegions8055 That's dumb. It's not that we didn't believe the climate changes, it's that we - RIGHTLY - don't believe that Man causes it. And the Paris climate crap was just a cash and power grab that would hurt our country, so NO, we're NOT going to be part of it. If other people want to cast themselves back into the stone age and leave themselves vulnerable to China, that's on them.
Greenland will be coming under the US umbrella regardless, and they'll be MUCH better for it.
I guess this is supposed to help achieve the promises made? Look we were told day one - tomorrow - groceries will go to 2016 prices. Strop screwing around and get it done or you are making a joke out of your supporters.
Are you ready to be disappointed yet?
They no doubt give Trump the MIDDLE FINGER.
Not too sure. If the US starts giving them what they need. They might give Denmark the finger.
The United States already protects Greenland as well as all of Europe. They do owe us a lot of money.
No, we don't.
They owe us trillions since WWII.
@@svenandersson284 And we don't protect you? Trump should pull out of NATO just to see how long it lasts.
Nobody owes the USA a penny! You start the arms and never finish them your hated all over the world you Americans should stay in your lane and btw you can’t do it alone your not independent you need other countries.
You wanted to make Europe your vassals, you succededed. You opened the European market for American trade. You have benefited from this. Nobody will pay you for your being as overly militarized as you are. All of your invasions have been on your own accord. Europe has been stupid to follow you in those endeavors. But Europe doesn't owe you a dime.
Great stuff... cold and beautiful :) You'd have to love Greenland to stay there... so cold. Home is where the heart is... or the saying goes. A farmers field covered in a thin ice layer from the night before... the morning dawn "golden hour"... hits the ice... Stopped me in my tracks. and it was just a farmers field. beauty is in the eye of the beholder.... Greenland should get to make it's own choice... Maybe they join Canada? What ARE all the options? Wiggins from movie "Enders Game"... I can't be expected to think up everything... always eager to listen.
Greenland keep your land, trust me you dont want any part of what goes on in the U.S. Our food is worse id say thats number one. Unite with Russia
