A new poll shows that President Donald Trump’s calls to take Greenland and his foreign policy overall are unpopular with Americans. Trump ran on an America First platform that would avoid unnecessary foreign entanglements and wars. 

According to a new AP-NORC poll, 72% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s handling of Greenland, including 91% of Democrats and 91% of independents. A narrow majority of Republicans approve of the President’s Greenland policy. 

Last year, Trump started threatening Denmark that the US would take Greenland, even suggesting he could use military force. He later said that Washington would make a deal with Copenhagen, allowing the US to build sovereign military bases in the Danish colony. The new agreement is similar to the post-World War 2 treaty between the US and Denmark. 

Additionally, the AP poll found that Trump’s foreign policy is unpopular with Americans. Just 36% of Americans approve of Trump’s foreign policy, including 71% of Republicans. 88% of Democrats and 68% of independents disapprove of the President’s handling of foreign affairs. 

Trump campaigned on an America First foreign policy that avoided unnecessary wars. However, he has directed the military into several conflicts, including Syria, Iran, Venezuela, Somalia, and Yemen. 

The President has also failed to broker an agreement to bring the war in Ukraine to an end. While Trump ended military aid to Kiev, he has continued to provide crucial intelligence that is helping to keep Ukrainian forces fighting.
