Thousands of protesters gathered in Nuuk on Saturday to denounce US President Donald Trump’s plans for the United States to annex Greenland, a self-governing territory of Denmark.

Waving Greenlandic flags, demonstrators marched through the city centre and later assembled outside the American consulate, where banners and chants called for sovereignty.

“We are not for sale. We are a free people,” one protestor said.

Greenland’s Natural Resources Minister Naaja Nathanielsen said Greenland wanted to develop “on our own terms.”
