Overview

• The foreign minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, ordered the meeting with the U.S. chargé d’affaires, describing the step as preventive and scheduled for later in the day.
• Public broadcaster DR reports that at least three Americans linked to President Trump have conducted influence activities in Nuuk, including mapping allies and opponents and encouraging narratives that cast Denmark in a negative light.
• Rasmussen said any attempt to meddle in the Kingdom’s internal affairs is unacceptable and noted authorities are alert to foreign interest in Greenland’s future.
• Greenlandic and Danish leaders have repeatedly stressed that the territory is not for sale, a stance reinforced after President Trump asserted the U.S. “needed” Greenland for security.
• In recent flashpoints, Vice President J.D. Vance curtailed a contentious March visit to the U.S. base at Pituffik, and earlier this year Danish intelligence warned of possible foreign influence during Greenland’s elections without confirming interference, while the Wall Street Journal reported U.S. agencies were tasked with gauging views on independence and resource access.
