Majority say Germany should support Denmark militarily in case of US attack on Greenland

A majority of 62% of respondents said that Germany should offer military support to NATO ally Denmark, if the US were to attack Greenland, according to a survey published in Stern magazine on Tuesday.

Around a third of respondents were against military support for Denmark.

The most support was seen among voters of the Greens, the CDU/CSU, the Left Party and the Social Democrats (SPD).

Among supporters of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), a majority (59%) were against military support in the case of a US attack.

Can Europe fend off Trump's interest in acquiring Greenland?
