Thousands protested in Copenhagen and other Danish cities on Saturday against former U.S. President Donald Trump's past interest in acquiring Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory. The demonstrations, organized by Greenlandic associations, were a response to Trump's previous suggestion of imposing tariffs on countries opposing his plans for Greenland. Protesters waved Danish and Greenlandic flags while chanting slogans in Greenlandic. The protests coincided with a visit to Copenhagen by a U.S. congressional delegation, highlighting bipartisan opposition to Trump's approach. The organizers aimed to convey a message of respect for Greenland's democracy and human rights.
