Thousands in Copenhagen Rally Against Trump Greenland Purchase Rhetoric 2026
Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Copenhagen on January 17, 2026, to oppose President Trump's rhetoric regarding the U.S. purchase of Greenland.
Thousands of voices are rising in Denmark. In a massive display of public dissent, thousands of people gathered in Copenhagen to push back on President Trump's recurring rhetoric that the U.S. should acquire Greenland.
Defending Sovereignty Against Trump Greenland Purchase Rhetoric
According to Reuters, the protesters converged near the U.S. embassy and central squares, chanting that "Greenland is not for sale." This mobilization follows renewed comments from the White House suggesting that Greenland's vast natural resources and strategic location in the Arctic make it a necessary addition to American territory.
Geopolitical Stakes and Local Resistance
The Danish government has consistently dismissed the idea as absurd. Prime Minister-level statements emphasize that Greenland is an autonomous territory with its own government. While the U.S. views this through a lens of national defense and competition with Russia and China in the North, the people of Denmark see it as a violation of sovereignty and international norms.
