Denmark summons US diplomat over Greenland ‘influence’ attempts

Denmark has summoned the United States charge d’affaires for talks over Danish intelligence reports that US citizens have been conducting covert influence operations in Greenland, Denmark’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
The diplomat was summoned on Wednesday after Denmark’s main national broadcaster reported that the government believed that at least three people with connections to Donald Trump’s administration have been carrying out covert influence operations aimed at promoting Greenland’s secession from Denmark to the United States.
“We are aware that foreign actors continue to show an interest in Greenland and its position in the Kingdom of Denmark. It is therefore not surprising if we experience outside attempts to influence the future of the Kingdom in the time ahead,” Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said in a statement.

Mikkel Olesen is a Senior Researcher at the Danish Institute for International Studies.
He says the attempts to divide Greenland and Denmark have been unsuccessful.
