Grenland will protest the US intention to take over, Danish cities prepare to take to the streets
AFP Copenhagen 17th. Today, the entire country of Denmark and Greenland will hold large-scale demonstrations, protesting against US President Trump's intention to take over the Arctic island of Greenland.
Thousands of people have already expressed on social media their intention to participate in the marches and rallies organized by Greenland groups in Copenhagen, Aarhus, Aalborg, Odense, and the capital of Greenland, Nuuk.
The Greenland civil organization Uagut in Denmark said on its website: "This action is used to send a clear and consistent message, calling for respect for Greenland's democracy and basic human rights."
This wave of protests stems from US President Trump's warning yesterday that he might impose tariffs on countries that oppose his plan to take over Greenland. Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark.
The organizers stated that the demonstration in Nuuk is scheduled to start at 4 p.m., expressing "opposition to the US illegal plan to seize Greenland." Participants will carry the Greenland flag and march to the US consulate.
The rally in Copenhagen is expected to start at noon, and about an hour later, it will be held outside the US embassy in the capital of Denmark.
