Thousands of people took to the streets of Denmark's capital, Copenhagen, to protest against US President Donald Trump's attempt to annex Greenland.
The protest followed Trump's warning on Friday that he "may impose a tariff" on countries that oppose his plans to take over Greenland.
They also coincided with a visit to Copenhagen by a bipartisan delegation from the US Congress, which has made clear the opposition of many Americans to the Trump administration's threats.
Thousands of people had said they would participate in marches and rallies organized by Greenlandic associations in Copenhagen, as well as in Aarhus, Aalborg, Odense and Greenland's capital, Nuuk.
"The aim is to send a clear and unified message of respect for democracy and fundamental human rights in Greenland," Uagut, an association of Greenlanders in Denmark, said on its website.
A protest is planned to be held in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, to protest against "US plans to take control of Greenland."
Protesters will march towards the US consulate carrying Greenlandic flags. /Telegraph/
