Thousands protest in Denmark and Greenland against Trump's interest in buying Greenland

Thousands of people joined protests in Denmark and Greenland under the slogan 'Hands off Greenland'. The demonstrations were a direct response to President Donald Trump's repeated public statements about his interest in buying the autonomous Danish territory.

The protests, which included large crowds in Copenhagen and in Greenland itself, were organized to oppose what participants called a 'land grab' and to assert Greenland's sovereignty. Protesters made clear they are not interested in becoming part of the United States.
