Overview

  • Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen called in U.S. chargé d'affaires Mark Stroh after a DR report on covert activities tied to figures connected to President Trump.
  • DR said at least three Americans allegedly worked to shape opinion in Greenland, citing eight unnamed sources across Denmark, Greenland and the United States.
  • The reported goals included recruiting supporters for a pro‑independence movement, compiling lists of allies and opponents, and engaging local political and business figures.
  • Denmark’s security service PET confirmed that Greenland is a target of influence campaigns aimed at sowing discord with Copenhagen and said it has strengthened its presence on the island.
  • The U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen did not respond to requests for comment, and DR reported it could not determine whether the individuals acted on their own or under orders.
