A heckler at an NBA game in London won cheers on Sunday for his pointed message to the United States and especially its leader, President Donald Trump.
“Leave Greenland alone!” someone yelled as Vanessa Williams sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” before the game between the Memphis Grizzlies and Orlando Magic. The shout was a reference to Trump’s threats to take the island ― currently a semi-autonomous Danish territory ― and make it part of the U.S.
Trump has not ruled out the use of force.
The audience erupted in cheers following the shout, which came just after the line ”…that our flag was still there.”

On Saturday, Trump slapped new tariffs on eight European nations until, as he wrote on Truth Social, “such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland.”
Also over the weekend, thousands took to the streets in Denmark and Greenland to protest Trump’s push to take the island.
While Trump may be obsessed, the American public is not. A CNN poll released last week found 75% of Americans oppose taking control of Greenland.
