Overview

• The Danish foreign ministry called in Chargé d’Affaires Mark Stroh after broadcaster DR reported that at least three Americans tied to President Trump pursued covert influence efforts on the island.
• DR’s sources said one person compiled lists of Greenlanders supportive of or opposed to U.S. influence while others cultivated political and business contacts, but the individuals were not publicly identified.
• Denmark’s security service PET said Greenland is a target for influence campaigns and noted it has strengthened monitoring and its presence there in cooperation with local authorities.
• The State Department confirmed Stroh met Danish officials and said the U.S. does not direct private citizens, reiterating respect for Greenlanders’ right to determine their future.
• Attribution remains unresolved, with DR reporting it could not determine whether the alleged actors operated independently or under official direction, as Copenhagen labels any interference unacceptable.
