Donald Trump’s proposal to buy Greenland has ignited massive protests across the island, with thousands taking to the streets of Nuuk, the capital, in what is now being called the largest protest in Greenland’s history. Demonstrators voiced their outrage with powerful slogans like “Greenland belongs to Greenlanders” and “We’re not for sale,” and the protests quickly spread to other cities, signaling broad opposition to Trump’s controversial remarks.
In response, Greenland’s acting Prime Minister, Múte B. Egede, delivered a fiery three-word rebuttal: “Greenland is ours. We are not for sale.” He condemned any external pressure on their land, making it clear that Greenland’s sovereignty is non-negotiable. Protesters were equally vocal, with one participant stating, “He hasn’t shown good behavior,” and reminding everyone that not all Greenlanders share a favorable view of the U.S.
The protests have galvanized Greenland’s people, uniting political leaders from across the spectrum in a show of strength and solidarity to defend their independence. The island nation’s resistance continues to grow, with no signs of backing down.
