Contributing sentiments towards policy:

78% : Donald Trump called Putin's move "genius."
54% : Greenland has a population of 56,000 and is 80 percent covered by ice, but Trump feels melting of the arctic ice caps offers opportunities for investment there.
53% : Trump said he feels "ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity for reasons of national security and global freedom."
43% : "Like Putin, Trump does not see other nations' borders as sacrosanct, so peace-loving Americans had better hope his admiration of the Russian leader does not extend to sending U.S. troops anywhere in the world merely to lower shipping costs, promote tourism, dig mines and one-up its enemies or allies.
33% : Trump appears to be serious about wanting both the Canal and Greenland, but his comments about acquisition of Canada may be tongue-in-cheek.
27% : Trump also wants to ensure China does not get control of the canal and worries about two Hong Kong firms that control two ports near the canal, but not the canal itself.
22% : Trump called the prices "a rip-off," which must immediately stop.
