Thousands of people marched through the streets of downtown Aarhus, Denmark, to protest Trump's proposed annexation of Greenland.

The demonstration also included speeches and musical performances by Greenlandic activists and politicians.

Charlotte Vindelof is a social worker and local politician.

She said she was drawn to demonstrate because of her deep personal connection to Greenland, where she lived for five years.

The protests come as political and economic tensions continue to mount between Trump and European leadership over control of Greenland.
