Overview
- Katie Miller posted on X an image of Greenland overlaid with the U.S. flag and captioned "SOON," shortly after a U.S. operation in Venezuela that led to Nicolás Maduro's arrest.
- Danish ambassador to the United States Jesper Møller Sørensen replied that Denmark demands unconditional respect for the Kingdom's territorial integrity and noted the close alliance with Washington.
- Greenland's premier Jens-Frederik Nielsen called the image disrespectful, stressed there is no reason to panic, and said the country's future is not decided by social media posts.
- Officials reported no change in policy or sovereignty, but the episode revived scrutiny of U.S. moves toward Greenland.
- The reaction follows the U.S. naming a special envoy for Greenland and comes after President Trump repeatedly discussed taking control of the island, citing security concerns and activity by Russia and China.
