Trump Supporters in Greenland: "Have Great Respect for Denmark but..."
American Trump supporters were in Nuuk on Saturday to monitor the protests in the Greenlandic capital.
One of them was Chris Cox, founder of the group Bikers for Trump. He tells Danish TV2 that he wanted to see with his own eyes how Greenlanders react to what is happening. Cox also wants to convey to the residents that Americans are not "tigers who see Greenland as a gazelle".
- We have great respect for Denmark. Their soldiers have fought with us in Afghanistan and Iraq. But that does not make up for their inability to patrol the Greenlandic coast, he says.
Protests against Trump in Nuuk: "Never gathered so many"
Residents gathered in Greenland's capital Nuuk on Saturday to demonstrate against Donald Trump's threat of annexation, Danish media reports.
All of them carried Greenlandic flags and many chanted "Kalaallit Nunaat", the Greenlandic word for homeland, writes Berlingske.
One of the placards described Trump as "A liar, stupid and brain dead"
- I don't think I've ever seen so many people gathered in Greenland. It's really crazy, says Jens Frederik Nielsen, party leader of the liberal Demokraatit (Democrats).
Nielsen participated in a demonstration along with several hundred Greenlanders with one final goal: A small red wooden building that houses the American consulate in Greenland. The common message was directed directly at Donald Trump: "We will not be annexed by the USA".
