Denmark Summons US Envoy, Accuses America Of Spying In Greenland

Denmark summoned the top U.S. diplomat in Copenhagen after reports emerged that Americans were conducting covert operations in Greenland, the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation confirmed Wednesday.

Danish media outlet DR reported that at least three U.S. citizens with connections to Trump were engaged in activities authorities fear could be used to promote the president’s goal of bringing Greenland under American control, according to the Associated Press. Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, which Trump has long expressed interest in acquiring.

“Any attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of the Kingdom will, of course, be unacceptable,” Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen said in a statement shared with the DCNF. “In that light, I have asked the Ministry of 🌐Foreign Affairs to summon the U.S. chargé d’affaires for a meeting at the Ministry.”

One individual allegedly compiled lists identifying Greenlanders based on their stance toward U.S. influence, while others maintained political and business contacts on the island, according to the AP. The Danish outlet was unable to clarify whether the Americans were working independently or at the behest of someone else.
