From a Wall Street Journal story on Greenland:

“This is our land, so we are not selling it, and everybody is saying that,” said Sven Jensen, walking to Nuuk’s harbor in search of day work. A Greenlandic flag stuck out of his backpack. “It’s unacceptable, Trump’s behavior.”

Nearby, a small band of protesters thronged the U.S. Embassy. Greenlandic staff scurried briskly into the building, looking ashamed to be working for America.
