Protests in Greenland and Denmark against Trump plans

Thousands of people in Greenland and Denmark have protested against plans by US President Donald Trump to take over Greenland - an autonomous Danish territory.

Demonstrations were held in Danish cities including the capital, Copenhagen, as well as in Greenland's capital, Nuuk.

The rallies coincide with a visit to Copenhagen by a delegation from the US Congress. Its leader, Democratic Senator Chris Coons, described Mr Trump's rhetoric as "not constructive".

Mr Trump has not ruled out taking Greenland, which he insists is critical for America's national security, by force - and has now announced he will impose tariffs European countries that are opposed to his plan.
