The demonstration took place a day after U.S. Vice President JD Vance and an American delegation visited Pituffik Space Base in northwest Greenland -- formerly known as Thule Base -- where Vance criticized Denmark for not doing enough for security in the Arctic or for the well-being of the Greenlandic people.
