NUUK, GREENLAND - MARCH 14: A person who did not want to provide his name protests in front of the American Consulate about what he said is 'the threat of the possibility of the annexation of Greenland by America' on March 14, 2025 in Nuuk, Greenland. U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly vowed a U.S. takeover of Greenland. The self-ruling Danish territory and world's largest island has been thrust into the geopolitical spotlight as U.S. President Donald Trump has promised to to acquire it, citing its strategic value, drawing objections from Danish and Greenlandic leaders. In his State of the Union address, Trump said the US needed Greenland for national security and would "get it one way or the other," but added that he supported Greenlanders' right to determine their own future. The territory holds its general election on March 11. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)
