• US President Donald Trump stated the US is open to negotiations with Denmark over Greenland, citing global security and "world peace" implications.
• Trump claimed China and Russia seek to expand their presence in Greenland, asserting Denmark cannot defend it and only the US can guarantee its safety.
• He announced plans for a 10% tariff on goods from eight European countries, including Denmark, starting February 1, accusing them of benefiting from US security without compensation.
• Trump linked the tariffs to the "complete and total purchase of Greenland," arguing its acquisition is vital for US national defense and missile defense systems like "Golden Dome."
• Protests erupted in Greenland's capital Nuuk and across Denmark, with demonstrators carrying signs like "Greenland is not for sale" to oppose an American takeover.
