Greenlanders take to streets against Trump’s "purchase" plan VIDEO

Thousands of residents took to the streets in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, to express their opposition to U.S. President Donald Trump’s intention to “buy” Greenland, the Telegram channel Clash Report wrote.

Participants carried placards reading “Greenland is not for sale,” waved national flags and chanted slogans in support of self-governance.

The demonstrators marched from the city centre to the U.S. consulate, showing their resistance to a potential attempt by Washington to assert control over the island.

Trump has publicly reiterated that the U.S. will pursue control of Greenland, framing it as vital for national security and to prevent Russia or China from gaining influence. He’s suggested the U.S. might secure the island “one way or another,” and has not ruled out non-diplomatic options if Denmark resists.

In a highly unusual move, he announced 10% U.S. import tariffs on multiple European allies — including Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, and the UK — unless a deal is reached for the U.S. to purchase Greenland. Those tariffs could rise to 25% by June.
