Greenpeace Denmark shared the following statement on Greenland on 15 January 2026.

Copenhagen, Denmark – Greenpeace Nordic deeply deplores the continued hostility and threats issued towards the people of Greenland by President Donald Trump, his administration and circle of advisors.

The people of Greenland must have the right to peacefully determine their own future free from coercion and violence.

Regardless of the Trump-regime’s misguided concerns for international security or its desire to pillage and plunder for rare-earth minerals or other resources, the Trump administration needs to be held accountable by the constitutional statutes of the US and the international community.

With the recent, illegal military intervention in Venezuela fresh in mind, and the blatant threats towards the people of Greenland, the international community must now act decisively to uphold international law and prevent further harm.
