A YouGov poll released between 4:47 PM and 5:16 PM UTC on January 15, 2026, shows 52% of Britons support the UK sending troops to Greenland alongside other European soldiers to deter the United States from attempting a military seizure of the island, with 28% opposed, according to a post on X. The poll, shared via https://x.com/YouGov/status/2011843932477399522 during this 29-minute window, reflects public sentiment amid escalating Arctic tensions over U.S. President Donald Trump's interest in acquiring Greenland. This development follows Denmark's refusal to sell Greenland, as stated by politician Lars-Christian Brask earlier today, and Finland's deployment of two soldiers to the territory over the past few hours to bolster security, according to Defense Minister Häkkänen. Norway's opposition, including SV party leader Kirsti Bergstø, expressed fears earlier this afternoon that U.S. plans could threaten Svalbard, calling on Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre for updates.
