On January 17, 2026, residents of Greenland protested in front of the U.S. consulate in Nuuk, expressing their opposition to President Donald Trump's policy, which called for the purchase of the island. Trump's comments, which described Greenland as "a piece of ice," sparked outrage and panic among Greenlanders, some of whom began to stockpile emergency supplies. Former parliamentarian Tillie Martinussen emphasized that people fear a possible American invasion, and the general sentiment is that Greenland is not for sale. The protests included thousands of participants, including the Greenlandic Prime Minister, who waved the Greenland flag and wore a hat with the message "Make America Go Away." Although Trump stated that he does not intend to use force, he called for negotiations to purchase the island, which raised concerns about Greenland's sovereignty. Denmark welcomed the de-escalation of the situation, emphasizing the importance of respecting Greenland's territorial integrity in discussions about security in the Arctic.
