Protests erupted in Greenland<\/a> on Saturday as demonstrators rejected pressure from President Donald Trump<\/a> to take over the Arctic island, with protesters chanting that Greenland is “not for sale” and saying they want to determine their own future, Reuters reported.<\/p>\n

“We are not interested in being Americans,” one protester said in video during demonstrations in the Greenlandic capital, Nuuk.<\/p>\n

The protests followed Trump\u2019s renewed push to acquire Greenland, including a Truth Social post made Saturday in which he announced new tariffs<\/a> on several European countries unless a deal is reached for the island’s purchase by the U.S.<\/p>\n

In the post, Trump wrote that Denmark and other European nations would face a 10% tariff beginning Feb. 1, rising to 25% on June 1, and said the tariffs would remain in place “until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland.”<\/p>\n

TRUMP’S GREENLAND TAKEOVER WOULD LIKELY ENTAIL ENORMOUS PRICE TAG: REPORT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Some demonstrators wore red baseball caps styled after the “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) hats worn by Trump supporters, but with the slogan “Make America Go Away.”<\/p>\n

In Nuuk, thousands of protesters led by Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen marched toward the U.S. consulate carrying flags and banners while chanting “Kalaallit Nunaat,” the island\u2019s name in Greenlandic, according to Reuters. Nielsen addressed the crowd outside the consulate, drawing loud cheers.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve come here today because I think it\u2019s important to show that Greenland is not for sale. It is not a toy. This is our home,” Naja Holm, a civil servant, told Reuters.<\/p>\n

NATO AMBASSADOR SAYS EUROPE ‘HAS A TENDENCY TO OVERREACT’ OVER GREENLAND DISPUTE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Trump has said Greenland is vital to U.S. national security because of its strategic Arctic location<\/a> and mineral resources, and has warned that China and Russia are seeking influence on the island. He has argued that U.S. control would strengthen Western security in the region.<\/p>\n

The dispute has drawn sharp reaction from European leaders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sweden\u2019s prime minister said Europe would not be “blackmailed,” while French President Emmanuel Macron<\/a> warned that tariff threats were unacceptable and said Europe would respond in a united and coordinated manner in an X post.<\/p>\n

“No intimidation nor threat will influence us, neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world when we are confronted with such situations,” wrote Macron in an X post. “Tariff threats are unacceptable and have no place in this context. Europeans will respond to them in a united and coordinated manner if they were to be confirmed.”<\/p>\n

Prime Minister David van Weel of the Netherlands also took to social media in response.<\/p>\n

“We have taken note of President Trump\u2019s announcement on tariffs,” van Weel wrote. “Military efforts related to exercises in Greenland are intended to contribute to security in the Arctic region. The Netherlands is in close contact with the @EU_Commission <\/a>and partners on our response.”<\/p>\n

Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark with a population of about 57,000.<\/p>\n

All political parties represented in Greenland\u2019s parliament support eventual independence, but they differ on timing and have said they would prefer to remain part of Denmark rather than become part of the U.S., Reuters reported.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
