Greenland Rejects U.S. Annexation Bid: ‘We Won’t Be Second-Class Citizens’ 🏔️🇬🇱

Greenlandic residents are pushing back against shocking U.S. political moves this month, as Florida Congressman Randy Fine proposed legislation on January 12 to forcibly annex the Arctic territory. The bill claims Greenland's strategic location justifies 'all necessary measures' to make it a U.S. state – but locals aren't having it. ❄️

In exclusive CGTN interviews, Greenlanders like Alibak Hard called the proposal a direct threat: "They want to treat us like First Nations in the U.S. – confined, controlled, stripped of rights. We see what's happening in reservations. We refuse to be second rank." 🔥

The controversy comes amid rising Arctic tensions in 2026, with global powers eyeing Greenland's rare earth minerals and shipping routes. While U.S. politicians argue about 'national security,' indigenous communities stress sovereignty: "This is our home, not a chess piece," said one Nuuk resident via TikTok livestream. 📱
