Protesters rally in Denmark and Greenland against Trump annexation threat

Source: Reuters

In Copenhagen, demonstrators chanted "Greenland is not for sale" and held up slogans such as "No means No" and "Hands off Greenland" alongside the territory's red-and-white flag as they marched to the U.S. embassy.

Some wore red baseball caps resembling the "Make America Great Again" caps of Trump supporters, but with the slogan "Make America Go Away".

In Greenland's capital Nuuk, thousands led by Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen carried flags and similar banners as they headed for the U.S. consulate chanting "Kalaallit Nunaat" - the island's name in Greenlandic.

Organisers estimated over 20,000 people attended the protest in Copenhagen - akin to the entire population of Nuuk. Police did not provide an official figure. Other protests were held across Denmark.
