Thousands of people have gathered in Nuuk, Greenland's capital, to protest against US President Donald Trump's threat to impose tariffs on imports from the European Union. The protesters, who are mostly Inuit and other indigenous groups, are calling for an end to the "war trade" between the EU and the US. The protesters also want the US to respect Greenland's sovereignty and not threaten its economy. The protest comes as tensions over Greenland have escalated in recent weeks, with the US, Denmark, and the EU all vying for influence in the region.

I THINK IT'S AMAZING TO SEE THOSE INUIT PEOPLE STANDING UP FOR THEIR RIGHTS!!! 
THEY DESERVE TO BE HEARD AND RESPECTED, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR OWN LAND! GREENLAND IS SUCH A UNIQUE AND SPECIAL PLACE, AND WE SHOULD BE SUPPORTING THEM RATHER THAN TRYING TO EXPLOIT THEM FOR POLITICAL GAIN. IT'S LIKE, THE US IS TREATING GREENLAND AS JUST ANOTHER BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, BUT REALLY IT SHOULD BE ABOUT WORKING TOGETHER AS PEACEFUL NEIGHBORS 
. I MEAN, CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG AND FIND SOME COMMON GROUND?!

I MEAN, CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG AND FIND SOME COMMON GROUND?! I'm so worried about the impact this "war trade" is going to have on tiny countries like Greenland 
They already have enough struggles with climate change and resource management. It's not just about tariffs, it's about control and exploitation 
. I mean, what even is a war trade? Sounds like something out of a bad movie 
. And as a parent, I worry about the lessons kids are learning from all this drama. Are we teaching them that might makes right? That conflict is just a normal part of life? 
No, no, no. We should be promoting peace and understanding, not fueling nationalism and protectionism 
.
And let's not forget those Inuit people protesting in Nuuk. They have every right to stand up for their land and way of life. It's about time we listened to their voices and respected their sovereignty
. We need more empathy and cooperation, not less 
. This is what my kid's class is learning about global citizenship – let's hope adults are paying attention too!

. And it's not just any ordinary protesters, it's mostly Inuit and other indigenous groups who are standing up for their rights and calling out the "war trade" between the EU and US 
.
I think it's pretty cool that people are coming together to fight against this, especially when you consider how vulnerable Greenland is in terms of its economy and sovereignty. The fact that the US, Denmark, and EU are all vying for influence in the region just adds to the complexity, but I guess it's great to see some solidarity among nations who care about each other's interests 
.
The idea of "war trade" is really interesting, because it implies a certain level of distrust between countries that can't be ignored. Maybe we should all try to think about how our actions affect others, rather than just focusing on what benefits us.

.man, this is crazy! thousands of ppl gathering in Nuuk to show they care about their future . it's wild how Greenland's sovereignty is being threatened by the big players in the world... like, can't we just have some peace & respect over there? . i feel so bad for the Inuit people who are already dealing with climate change and whatnot, now they're gotta deal with politics too 
.
anyway, i think it's awesome that they're standing up for themselves & their land
. we need more of this kinda courage & community spirit in our world . let's hope the US & EU take notice & have a heart-to-heart (or at least some diplomatic talks) instead of just throwing threats around 
. peaceful resolutions all the way!

Greenland has its own issues with climate change and resource management, it's not just about some trade deal between the US and EU...
anyway, i think the protesters are right to be upset - we need to start looking out for each other's interests instead of just fighting over our own agendas. and can we please take a deep breath and try to understand where everyone is coming from? it's not just about winning or losing, it's about finding a solution that works for all parties involved...

. but you know what's even crazier? the fact that this is happening while trump's in office... like, can't we just focus on unity and cooperation for once? i'm all about supporting our indigenous brothers and sisters in their fight against exploitation. let's hope this protest makes some noise and gets the us to respect greenland's sovereignty . it's time for a change!

US gotta respect somebodies sovereignty, even if it ain't exactly part of the eu or usa I don't think tariffs are gonna make a difference here... it's like they're trying to control the whole world from up there . I mean, we need some diplomacy between those big players, you know? The Inuit people have been living off that land for thousands of years and Greenland is more than just a resource to be exploited . We should be supporting each other, not pitting one country against another 
. And what's with all the backroom deals? Can't we just talk it out like civilized humans? It's like they're playing some kinda game where the rest of us are just collateral damage... no good 
. We need to find a way to work together, not tear each other apart .Man, this whole thing got me thinking... like, what does it even mean to be a part of something that's not really yours, you know? The Inuit folks are fighting for their land, their way of life, but at the same time, they're caught up in this global economy that's all about power and control. It's like, can we ever truly escape the influence of others when our economies are so intertwined? And what does it say about us as a society that we need to be constantly negotiating and compromising with other nations just to survive?
And then there's the whole issue of sovereignty... is it even possible for a country like Greenland to maintain its independence in today's world? I mean, we're all connected through trade and technology, right? So when one country makes a move, others are bound to follow. It's like, how do we draw lines and respect each other's boundaries in this global web?

I'm kinda surprised that people are actually showing up in Nuuk to protest this... I mean, it's not like Trump hasn't threatened some countries before, right? But at the same time, I think it's great that Greenland is standing up for itself and its economy. I mean, can you imagine if the US just started messing with their trade deals without even talking to them first? It's not like they're tiny, remote islands or something (just kidding, they kinda are 
). Seriously though, it's a good move on Greenland's part. I hope some actual change comes out of this protest. Maybe the EU and US can just chill out and work together instead of trying to one-up each other? 
It's not like we need another trade war or anything...

It's not like we need another trade war or anything... what's the point of protesting against Trumps tariffs? doesn't he just wanna make some cash from the imports anyway? 
and btw why are these indig groups from Greenland even getting involved in this US-EU drama? shouldn't they be worried about their own stuff like climate change and polar bears or whatever? 
man I'm really worried about this situation with Trump and the EU 
. like, don't get me wrong, I know the US is a major player on the world stage but imposing tariffs is just gonna cause so much harm to innocent people living in Greenland . it's not fair that they're being used as a pawn in this "war trade" between the US and EU . I think it's super important for the international community to step in here and remind both sides that there are real people affected by their actions . and let's be real, Greenland is already struggling with climate change and resource depletion - we don't need more stress on top of that 
. can't we all just get along?

I'm kinda surprised that people are getting so worked up about this whole tariff thingy... I mean, it's just trade policies, right? But at the same time, I can see why the Inuit and other indigenous groups in Greenland are upset - it feels like their way of life is being threatened. All these big players coming in with their economic interests... it's like they're not even considering the impact on local communities. And the fact that Trump is all like "we'll just impose tariffs and make you do what we want" - that's just not cool, man. 
It's like, don't they know that Greenland has its own economy and government? Do they really think they can just dictate to them? I guess what I'm saying is, it's time for the US to take a step back and consider the consequences of their actions. The "war trade" thing is a great phrase - it highlights how all this economic jockeying is actually harming people's lives, not just their bank accounts. Anyway, I hope the protesters in Nuuk get some attention and maybe even some tangible results...

Like, can't he just keep his mouth shut? He's always causing trouble wherever he goes. And now, thousands of people in Nuuk are standing up to him and protesting against these tariffs on EU imports... it's about time someone stood up for themselves, you know?
And can we talk about how messed up the whole "war trade" thing is? It's not like anyone really benefits from this kind of stuff. The people who get hurt are usually the innocent ones - in this case, the Inuit and other indigenous groups in Greenland. They're already struggling to make ends meet, they don't need some powerful country threatening their economy.
I feel so bad for them, you know? They just want to live their lives and take care of their families, but because of someone else's actions, they're put through all this stress... it's not fair at all.

I'm worried about these young folks protesting in Nuuk... it's like they're playing into Trump's hands, you know? They need to be careful what they wish for, 'cause if there's one thing I learned from my years, it's that emotions can get the best of us. I remember back in '85 when the Berlin Wall came down, people were so excited, but then they realized they had no idea how to run a country... and look where that got 'em! 
Anyway, I hope these protesters are prepared for what might come next. They need to think about the bigger picture, not just their own concerns. It's like my grandma used to say: "don't rock the boat unless you're sure it won't capsize"... good advice from someone who lived through some tough times

. Like, they're scared of losing out on some lucrative trade deals or something? Newsflash: Greenland's not exactly swimming in gold coins . The Inuit people have been living there for thousands of years, and Denmark should be giving them a heck of a lot more respect .
And let's be real, the EU is just as guilty of being all buddy-buddy with the US. They're not exactly in a position to lecture Trump about respecting sovereignty . It's all just a big game of "who can posture the most" 
. The protesters are right to be upset, though - it's time for some real leadership from world leaders instead of all this posturing .
I mean, what's next? Is Trump going to start threatening Australia or Canada too? It's just a bunch of noise, if you ask me...

just saw this news and I'm like totally stoked that people are standing up for what they believe in especially when it comes to protecting indigenous rights the idea of a "war trade" is literally devastating for the environment and the economy of Greenland 
it's not right that the US is threatening tariffs on imports from the EU we need more unity and less drama Denmark and the EU are already dealing with so much stress over Greenland at least these people in Nuuk are making their voices heard 
maybe we can learn a thing or two from them about standing up for what's right I'm watching this unfold on Reddit rn and I gotta say, I'm low-key glad someone is speaking up for Greenland . Those indigenous folks have been dealing with colonialism for centuries and now they're fighting for their economic autonomy? Respect 
. It's crazy how the US can just threaten tariffs on the EU and expect everything to be okay... like, hello, that's just gonna cause more harm to the actual people affected by these "war trades" . And I get why the EU would want to push back - it's not like they're getting a fair deal from the US either . But let's not forget, this is all about respecting Greenland's sovereignty and not exploiting its resources for short-term gains . Fingers crossed someone listens to these protesters and makes some real change

Like, it's about time someone spoke up against this whole "war trade" thing. It's not just gonna affect Greenland's economy, it's also gonna hurt other countries that rely on imports from the EU and US. And let's be real, who doesn't want to avoid another trade war? It's like, we're already dealing with so many problems in the world, do we really need more? I don’t know if the US will listen or not, but at least people are trying to make their voices heard. And it's cool that indigenous groups are leading this movement - they've got a right to be vocal about their concerns.
