People protest against Donald Trump’s policy towards Greenland in front of the US consulate in Nuuk, Greenland. Demonstrators waved Greenlandic flags, as some people openly cried in the rain, at a protest in Nuuk, the capital, when prime minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen suddenly appeared. People gather in Nuuk to protest against Donald Trump's proposals to takeover Greenland. Polls and interviews conducted over recent weeks have shown that Greenlanders overwhelmingly oppose becoming part of the United States. The United States explored acquiring the island in 1867 and again in 1946.
