Overview

  • Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen called in U.S. chargé d’affaires Mark Stroh in Copenhagen to demand explanations about the reported activities.
  • DR reported that at least three Americans tied to President Donald Trump sought to compile lists of supporters, build local networks, and solicit cases that could cast Danish authorities in a negative light, citing eight sources and withholding names.
  • Denmark’s security service PET said Greenland is a target for influence campaigns designed to create discord between Nuuk and Copenhagen, including through disinformation.
  • DR’s account referenced recent visits, including Vice President J.D. Vance’s March trip, as part of a phased effort; U.S. officials have not acknowledged any official operation as described.
  • Strains deepened after the U.S. administration suspended Ørsted’s nearly completed Revolution Wind project off Rhode Island, a decision reported in Danish coverage as escalating the dispute.
