A small group of protesters rallied at the U.S. embassy in London on Saturday, sending their message to the U.S. -- "Hands off Greenland."
They said U.S. President Donald Trump has no right to demand anything from Greenland.
Trump claimed that he secured a deal with European leaders, allowing the U.S. to expand its military presence in the territory after backing down on threats to use force.
Some protesters said they were not convinced Trump would honor those assurances.
"First and foremost, I think you can't trust anything that this man says. So there was a lot of talk of whether we would cancel the protest after we had that news. But you can't let someone make a claim that they're going to colonize a country," said a protester.
"I think just to be safe -- we're out here just making sure that people know that you can't do that," said another protester.
"I really am worried for the future and I just hope, you know, he doesn't do anything rash. But you know, like I say, he's a very erratic person. And I don't think he's fit to be in power. So you never really know what he's gonna do," one of those gathered said.
A woman at the rally who has family in Greenland said the uncertainty has been frightening.
"I've personally been very scared that Greenland would end up American. My family and friends, they have not been sleeping well, I've not been sleeping well, just out of fear. And to live your life in fear is dreadful. I've even been thinking about if, you know, Trump took Greenland or invaded Greenland, my family would come and live with me in some way or another, just to get them away from Greenland. But then again, it is a dreadful idea that people would want to move away from Greenland out of fear," she said.
