"Greenland is not for sale"
"I thought this day couldn't get any worse but it just did,"
"It just shows he has no remorse for any kind of human being now."
"This is important for the whole world,"
Thousands of Greenlanders marched across snow and ice to the U.S. Consulate in Nuuk, holding signs, waving the national flag and chanting 'Greenland is not for sale.' The protest drew nearly a quarter of Nuuk's population and included Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen. Rallies and solidarity marches also took place across the Danish realm, in Copenhagen, and in Nunavut. President Trump announced a 10% import tax beginning in February on goods from eight European countries over their opposition to U.S. control of Greenland. Trump has repeatedly said the United States should own Greenland and intensified his calls after a recent military operation targeting Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro. Protesters expressed shock and condemned the announcement.
