Greenlanders Rally Against Trump's Takeover Threat: 'Greenland Not For Sale'

  • Thousands of Greenlanders protested US President Donald Trump's renewed push to acquire the Arctic territory, with a mass rally in the capital Nuuk.
  • Demonstrators in Nuuk waved flags, carried 'Greenland is not for sale' placards, and marched to the US Consulate, marking the island's largest demonstration.
  • The protests intensified after Trump announced a 10% import tariff on goods from Denmark and other European countries opposing US claims over Greenland.
  • Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen joined the march, with solidarity rallies also held in other Greenlandic towns and Copenhagen.
  • Protesters emphasized their sovereignty, stating, 'We are not American, and we will never be American,' viewing it as a fight for freedom and self-determination.

Why It Matters: Greenlanders held mass protests, asserting 'Greenland is not for sale' against Trump's acquisition attempts and tariffs.
