On Saturday, January 17, thousands of young activists and residents of Greenland and Denmark hit the streets of Nuuk and Copenhagen to send a clear message: "Greenland is not for sale." 🚫🇬🇱
In Nuuk, protesters waved Greenlandic flags and marched toward the U.S. consulate. Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen joined the crowd, stressing that unity is key and that residents will defend their home.
Meanwhile in Copenhagen, demonstrators chanted "Greenland is not for sale," holding up signs that read "No means No" and "Hands off Greenland." Some even swapped Trump’s iconic red cap for parodies reading "Make America Go Away." 🔴🧢
The rallies coincided with an 11-member bipartisan U.S. congressional delegation visit aimed at cooling tensions. Democratic Senator Dick Durbin said the president’s words "do not reflect what the American people feel."
President Trump has threatened new tariffs on eight European countries until a deal for the "complete and total purchase" of Greenland is reached, prompting EU leaders to consider an EU-level response.
These vibrant protests show that when communities come together, their collective voice can make a global impact. 🌍🗣️
