AP-NORC Poll: Broad Opposition to Trump’s Greenland Bid, Including From Within GOP

An AP-NORC poll found 72% of U.S. adults disapprove of Trump's Greenland policy, including nearly half of Republicans, highlighting a rare GOP divide.

  • Amid NATO concern, President Donald Trump pushed contentious claims about Greenland, prompting allies to view the U.S. as a potential predator and consider their own nuclear deterrents.
  • Acting without previous restraints, Trump has threatened alliance commitments, including leaving NATO and pulling forces from South Korea, showing an unchecked impulsive style that erodes allied trust.
  • The AP-NORC poll of 1,156 adults found broad disapproval, with about 7 in 10 U.S. adults and about 6 in 10 Republicans under 45 disapproving of Trump’s Greenland approach.
  • Pressure on the defense-for-nonproliferation bargain is prompting concrete reconsideration among U.S. allies, and analysts including Dr. Robert E. Kelly warn many will begin unwinding reliance on U.S. defense.
  • Looking to the Cold War legacy, extended deterrence reduced nuclear states to five and allies nuclearizing risks accidents, theft, and regional instability.
