In Greenland, hundreds of protesters gathered at the opening of a new U.S. consulate building in the capital Nuuk on Thursday to denounce President Trump’s threats to annex the island. The protest came after Trump’s special envoy to Greenland, Republican Governor Jeff Landry of Louisiana, made his first trip to the semiautonomous Danish territory. Landry reportedly spoke on Saturday with President Trump, who told him to “go there and make a bunch of friends.” This is Nuuk resident Aron Bang-Isaksen.

Aron Bang-Isaksen: “It’s just a really unpleasant reminder of people as commodities or as a product, as something that can be bought and sold. It’s very unpleasant to witness. And I think this ruthless rhetoric, where military actions are not taken off the table, is completely wild and ruthless towards the people who live here.”
