Greenland protest against Trump's plan to annex island

Several thousand people demonstrated in the capital of Greenland on Saturday against President Donald Trump's plans for the U.S. to annex the Danish autonomous territory.

The protesters -- including the territory's prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, waving a Greenlandic flag -- chanted slogans and traditional Inuit songs under light rain.

Many of them wore caps with the slogan "Make America Go Away" -- a riff on Trump's MAGA brand -- an AFP reporter saw.
