Thousands of people across Denmark and Greenland have taken to the streets to protest Donald Trump's demand to acquire the Arctic island. Demonstrators in Copenhagen and Nuuk wore parody hats reading "Make America Go Away" and chanted "Greenland is not for sale", rejecting Trump's territorial ambitions.
Trump responded to the European opposition by announcing ten per cent import tariffs on eight European countries that oppose his plans to take control of Greenland. The retaliatory measure targets nations that have publicly rejected his acquisition demands.
Military Response
European nations have deployed military personnel to Greenland at Denmark's request. The move represents a concrete security response to the escalating tensions over Trump's territorial claims.
Greenland's parliament has unanimously voted to remain part of Denmark. The autonomous Arctic territory, which belongs to the Kingdom of Denmark, has made clear its political stance against any potential acquisition.
Domestic Opposition
Public opinion in the United States largely opposes using military force to acquire Greenland. The domestic pushback adds another dimension to the international controversy surrounding Trump's plans.
