Massive protests against U.S. actions and remarks suggesting control over Greenland were held on Saturday in multiple cities across Denmark.
In Copenhagen, Denmark's capital, a large crowd gathered at City Hall Square in central Copenhagen around 12:00 local time before marching toward the U.S. Embassy, about two kilometers away.
Protesters included people from both Denmark and Greenland, many of whom carried Danish and Greenlandic flags as they marched through the city.
Similar protests were held or planned in the Danish cities of Aarhus, Odense and Aalborg, according to Danish media.
Later in the afternoon, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States will impose 10-percent tariffs on all goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, Britain, the Netherlands and Finland over Greenland starting on Feb 1.
Those tariffs would increase to 25 percent on June 1, and would continue until a deal is reached for the United States to purchase Greenland, Trump said on social media.
Greenland is a self-governing territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, with Copenhagen retaining control over defense and foreign policy. The United States maintains a military base on the island.
Trump has repeatedly demonstrated his interest in Greenland, from "buying" the island during his first presidential term, to the current employment of "a range of options" including "utilizing the U.S. military" to seize the autonomous island.
