Thousands of Greenlanders participated in a march in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, to protest against U.S. President Donald Trump’s ongoing assertions regarding the purchase of the strategically significant island. Demonstrators carried signs, waved the Greenlandic flag, and chanted “Greenland is not for sale,” emphasizing their commitment to self-governance amidst rising concerns about a potential U.S. takeover. The protest coincided with Trump’s announcement of a 10 percent import tax on goods from eight European countries, a move he described as retaliation for their resistance to U.S. claims over the mineral-rich territory. Speaking from Florida, Trump reiterated his belief in U.S. ownership of Greenland, which functions as a self-governing territory under Danish sovereignty. The march included traditional songs and speeches, with former Greenlandic parliament member Tillie Martinussen expressing hope that the Trump administration would reconsider its stance. Martinussen highlighted the importance of safeguarding NATO and Greenland’s autonomy during this period of heightened tensions.
