Some might be, but independence is often contested and not necessarily a majority concern.
Plus it'd be fairly odd to have independence then say "hey, let's let America buy us as a state"
- rswail 2y agoIf it was as an actual 51st state, with 2 Senators, full citizenship for all residents, etc, then maybe it would make sense. But that is not what the US is in any way offering. Trump wants a colony that can be exploited.
- runarberg 2y agoAs I understand it, most people want independence, but not at any cost. I think most people have economic concerns about independence, and want to diversify the economy in a way that makes them less economically dependent on Denmark before taking the last steps towards independent. Politically getting independent wouldn’t be that difficult, they would just need to pass some laws, finish drafting a constitution, and have national referendum. If they can make the economic case for it, I think there would probably be an overwhelming majority in favor.
