Protests erupt in Denmark over Vance's visit to Greenland


NUUK, Greenland, March 29 (Xinhua) -- Hundreds of demonstrators in Denmark's capital Copenhagen and the city of Aarhus voiced strong opposition on Saturday to recent remarks and actions by the U.S. administration regarding Greenland.

The demonstration took place a day after U.S. Vice President JD Vance and an American delegation visited Pituffik Space Base in northwest Greenland -- formerly known as Thule Base -- where Vance criticized Denmark for not doing enough for security in the Arctic or for the well-being of the Greenlandic people.
