In a wave of global protests, citizens from Cuba to Denmark have taken to the streets to condemn recent US actions in Venezuela and President Donald Trump’s threats to take over Greenland. Tens of thousands of Cubans gathered outside the US Embassy in Havana to denounce the killing of 32 Cuban officers in Venezuela and demand the release of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The protesters accused the US government of interfering in Venezuelan affairs and called for Maduro’s freedom.
Simultaneously, in Denmark, thousands of people joined anti-Trump demonstrations under the banner “Hands off Greenland.” The protests were sparked by Trump’s recent comments about potentially annexing Greenland and imposing tariffs on countries that oppose his plans. Protesters in Denmark expressed solidarity with Greenlanders and demanded respect for their right to self-determination.
The situation escalated further as a bipartisan US Congressional delegation sought to reassure Denmark and Greenland after Trump’s controversial statements. The delegation, led by Senator Chris Coons, aimed to de-escalate tensions and address concerns about US intentions towards Greenland. The visit coincided with widespread protests in Denmark, highlighting the strong opposition to any potential US takeover of the autonomous Danish territory.
The global outcry against US actions in Venezuela and the Greenland takeover threat reflects growing international unease over American foreign policy decisions. The protests underscore the importance of respecting sovereignty and self-determination, as well as the need for diplomatic dialogue to address conflicts and prevent further escalation.
As tensions continue to simmer, the world watches closely to see how the US government responds to the widespread condemnation and demands for respect for international norms and principles.
