Overview

• Public broadcaster DR reported that at least three U.S. citizens with ties to President Donald Trump carried out covert efforts in Greenland aimed at weakening its bonds with Denmark and promoting secession.
• The individuals were not named, and DR said it could not establish whether they acted on their own or under instructions.
• Denmark’s security service PET has assessed that influence campaigns target Greenland to create discord and said it has strengthened its presence and cooperation on the island.
• The Foreign Ministry summoned the U.S. chargé d’affaires for a meeting, with the embassy led by Mark Stroh and not immediately available for comment outside office hours.
• Trump has repeatedly voiced interest in taking control of Greenland and has not ruled out the use of force, a stance rejected by leaders in Denmark and Greenland who insist the territory is not for sale.
