Eighty-five percent of Greenlanders are against their island becoming part of the United States, according to a Verian poll conducted for the Danish newspaper Berlingske and Greenland's Sermitsiaq.
Only 6% of respondents expressed a desire to become part of the US, while another 9% found it difficult to answer, the report said on Tuesday.
In addition, 45% of respondents see a threat in US President Donald Trump's interest in Greenland.
The poll was conducted from January 22-26 and surveyed almost 500 people.
In December, Trump called it "an absolute necessity" for the US to own Greenland, officially a part of Denmark. Greenlandic Prime Minister Mute Egede said in response that the island was not for sale. In January, Trump's national security adviser-designate, Mike Waltz, said that Trump was ready to consider all options for acquiring Greenland, including the use of military force.
Greenland was a colony of Denmark until 1953. It remains part of the kingdom, but in 2009 it received autonomy with the ability to self-govern and make independent choices in domestic policy.
