Greenland’s leader snaps and issues 3-word slapdown to Donald Trump

Part 1 of 2

Donald Trump’s fascination with the idea of bringing Greenland under U.S. control is well known—but the island’s leaders aren’t entertaining the notion.

Greenland’s Prime Minister, Mute Egede, has grown tired of the speculation and recently responded to Trump with a blunt, three-word rebuke.

Greenland’s Largest-Ever Protest

Over the weekend, massive demonstrations erupted across Greenland following Trump’s remarks about the U.S. potentially acquiring the island.

Thousands of people gathered in the capital, Nuuk, marking what is being called the biggest protest in Greenland’s history.

Given Nuuk’s population of just 19,000 and Greenland’s total population of 57,000, a demonstration of this scale represents a significant portion of the country’s citizens.

“I’m overwhelmed by the tremendous turnout for the demonstration. I’ve never seen so many people at a protest before,” said Orla Joelsen, the event’s organizer, in an interview with local newspaper Sermitsiaq.

“Enough is enough!” was the rallying cry, as citizens voiced their anger while chanting, “Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders.”

The demonstrations soon reached Sisimiut, the country’s second-largest city, where protesters held up banners with bold messages such as “Yankee go home” and “We’re not for sale.”
