Thousands of Greenlanders braved icy conditions on Saturday to protest President Donald Trump's recent maneuvers, voicing opposition to any US acquisition of Greenland. Bearing signs and chanting, demonstrators expressed their commitment to self-governance amid perceived American threats.

The march reached its peak at the U.S. Consulate, coinciding with Trump's announcement of impending import taxes on European goods. The decision, perceived as punitive for resisting US interests in Greenland, has further incited public sentiment across the Danish realm and beyond.

Voices from the protest converged on the common goal of preserving Greenland's autonomy. From traditional songs to personal stories, residents united, reflecting a strong resistance against foreign intervention. As global support swelled, Greenlanders reiterated their pleas for Europe and the world to stand with them.
