"Protests are also planned in the Danish cities of Aarhus, Aalborg, and Odense. The demonstration in Greenland's capital, Nuuk, is scheduled to begin at 4:00 pm (1500 GMT), according to the organizers, who say it is "against the United States' illegal plans to take control of Greenland." Demonstrators are set to march to the US consulate carrying Greenlandic flags. At least 900 people in Greenland said on its Facebook page that they planned to participate in the event."
"On Friday, Trump warned that he might impose tariffs on countries that oppose his plans to take over the self-governing Arctic island, which is a part of the Kingdom of Denmark. The protests are set to occur as a bipartisan delegation of US Congress members visits Copenhagen on a two-day trip to show support for Denmark and Greenland. The delegation says that the American people do not share the territorial ambitions of the US president."
Massive demonstrations by Greenlandic associations will take place across Denmark and Greenland on Saturday to protest US President Donald Trump's plans to take over Greenland. The Copenhagen rally is scheduled for 12:00 p.m. local time outside the US Embassy and protests are planned in Aarhus, Aalborg, and Odense. A Nuuk demonstration is set for 4:00 p.m., with organizers calling the plans illegal and participants marching to the US consulate carrying Greenlandic flags. At least 900 people in Greenland said they planned to attend. Tensions have risen after Trump's repeated insistence and warnings of tariffs; a bipartisan US congressional delegation is visiting Copenhagen to show support for Denmark and Greenland.
