Thousands gathered on the streets of Copenhagen on Saturday to protest U.S. President Donald Trump’s push to take over Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory.
The protest followed Trump's warning on Friday that he "may put a tariff" on countries that oppose his plans to take over mineral-rich Greenland, which is an autonomous territory of Denmark.
They also coincided with a visit to Copenhagen by a bipartisan delegation from the U.S. Congress that has made clear the opposition of many Americans to the Trump administration's saber-rattling.
Waving the flags of Denmark and Greenland, the protesters formed a sea of red and white outside Copenhagen city hall, chanting "Kalaallit Nunaat!", the vast Arctic island's name in Greenlandic.
Thousands of people had said on social media they would to take part in marches and rallies organized by Greenlandic associations in Copenhagen, and in Aarhus, Aalborg, Odense and the Greenlandic capital Nuuk.
