Denmark has condemned alleged influence operations by three Americans with ties to the White House in Greenland, raising concerns about potential interference in the territory's democratic processes. Danish authorities have summoned U.S. diplomats to discuss the situation, which they describe as "very worrying."
The Danish Police Intelligence Service (PET) confirmed that Greenland is under scrutiny for foreign influence activities. Officials emphasize the need for proactive measures to protect the Kingdom's relationship with Greenland, underscoring that any formal interference would violate international norms and could jeopardize allied relations.
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen stated that such influence campaigns are "completely unacceptable." He warned that any official U.S. involvement would breach international rules, adding that Denmark intends to communicate this stance clearly to the United States. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen echoed these sentiments, asserting that any meddling in Greenland's internal affairs would be taken very seriously.
The U.S. government has denied any official involvement, claiming that the actions of these private citizens do not reflect American policy. However, the lack of a clear denial from U.S. officials regarding the reports has heightened tensions. As the situation develops, Denmark remains vigilant, emphasizing that awareness is the best defense against such operations.
