Tausende Dänen haben in Kopenhagen gegen die von US-Präsident Donald Trump erhobenen Besitzansprüche auf Grönland protestiert. Sie versammelten sich vor dem Rathaus der dänischen Hauptstadt, schwenkten dänische und grönländische Fahnen und riefen „Kalaallit Nunaat!“ – den Namen Grönlands in der Muttersprache.
Auch in anderen dänischen Städten sowie in der grönländischen Hauptstadt Nuuk finden Proteste statt.
In Greenland‘s capital Nuuk, thousands led by Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen carried flags and similar banners as they headed for the U.S. consulate chanting „Kalaallit Nunaat“ – the island‘s name in Greenlandic.
“I’ve come here today because I think it’s important to show that Greenland is not for sale. It is not a toy. This is our home,” said Naja Holm, a civil servant.
During a protest on Saturday, Danish Politician Julie Rademacher, who is also a Greenlander, spoke about President Trump‘s attempts to take over Greenland.

Later in the day, the Secretary General opened the new NATO accelerator site “Deep Tech Lab – Quantum” together with the Danish Minister of Defence, Troels Lund Poulsen; the Minister for Industry, Business and Financial Affairs, Morten Bødskov; and the Minister of Higher Education and Science, Christina Egelund. The Lab will help start-ups from across the Alliance commercialise quantum-enabled solutions, as part of NATO’s new Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA).
DIANA consists of a network of test centers and accelerator sites across NATO countries, where innovators develop new technologies to solve pressing security challenges. The Deep Tech Lab – Quantum in Copenhagen is one of five pilot accelerator sites launched in 2023.
