Several thousand demonstrators gathered in Copenhagen and other Danish cities on January 17, 2026, to protest U.S. President Donald Trump's ambitions to take over Greenland, according to organizers and local media as reported by RFI and L_ThinkTank on X during the 11:46 AM to 12:16 PM UTC window. RFI stated that several thousand people protested specifically against Trump in Copenhagen, linking to a report published this morning. L_ThinkTank confirmed the demonstrations across multiple Danish cities, citing organizers and local media coverage in the same period. These protests occur amid ongoing NATO-related military activities in Greenland, including Denmark's stationing of 150 troops and recent aerial training with Danish F-35s and a French MRTT tanker, as reported in prior updates today.
