Overview

• Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen requested a meeting with chargé d’affaires Mark Stroh after Danish media reported covert efforts to shape outcomes in Greenland.
• DR reported at least three U.S. citizens with ties to the Trump administration worked to weaken Denmark–Greenland relations and identify potential pro‑U.S. allies, though it is unclear if they acted under official direction.
• Denmark’s security service PET said Greenland is a target for influence campaigns and has strengthened its presence and cooperation with Greenlandic authorities.
• The U.S. embassy offered no immediate public comment; the post of ambassador remains vacant pending Senate confirmation of nominee Ken Howery.
• Tensions have built as President Trump repeatedly advocates taking control of Greenland, following a May report that U.S. intelligence was tasked to study Greenlandic sentiment, which previously prompted a Danish protest.
