The night of Thursday a kind of silent demonstration was taking place in front of the American Embassy in Copenhagen. It was Ludvig Hammeken who stood with Erfalasorput in hand outside all night.
- In my head I needed to do something. To say the least, I am completely sick of this unwanted pressure and advances from Trump. So when I got home from work Wednesday night and just finished reading them latest news, I simply could not be in my body.
- Then I got that idea and thought, it's someone else form of expression in any case.
Ludvig Hammeken grew up in Uummannaq and now lives in Denmark. He says that he didn't do it for others, but for his own.
- I am indignant on a higher level. It shakes me to my core fundamental, that between two close allies you have this rhetoric, which is so warlike. It shakes me violently, he says.
Ludvig Hammeken's silent demonstration came after several statements by US President Donald Trump and his staff that the US needs Greenland for the country's security.
Most recently, Trump has said,at militær tilstedeværelse i Grønland is not enough , as ownership is a psychological need.
