**Denmark Reacts to US Surveillance Allegations in Greenland**

Denmark's government expresses concerns over US spying on the semi-autonomous territory amid Trump's takeover threats.


The Danish Foreign Minister is set to coordinate discussions with the US ambassador following alarming reports of surveillance in Greenland.



Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen plans to summon the US ambassador in response to allegations that Washington is intensifying its intelligence operations focused on Greenland. The reports, sourced from The Wall Street Journal, suggest that US spy agencies are investigating the island in light of President Donald Trump's controversial comments regarding his intentions to acquire Greenland. "It troubles me deeply; we do not engage in espionage against our allies," Rasmussen stated, expressing his concerns during an EU ministers meeting in Warsaw.

The reports indicated a dual focus on Greenland's independence movement and potential mineral extraction, which may have spurred heightened espionage activity between the nations. In a response to the claims, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard criticized the Journal for allegedly politicizing information that could undermine national security, while also stopping short of denying the content of the report.

Denmark's Security and Intelligence Service acknowledged they have noticed US interests growing in Greenland, signaling a rising espionage threat linked to broader international interests. President Trump has made headlines with statements suggesting military options to secure Greenland, likening it to a vital asset for national security.

In the political spectrum, Greenland’s leaders have united against Trump's hostile rhetoric. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen condemned a visit by US Vice President JD Vance to the region, calling it an unacceptable pressure tactic. Former President Biden, reflecting on Trump's approach, voiced disapproval, emphasizing a vision anchored in freedom and democracy rather than territorial claims. Greenland, which operates under Danish governance, may be on the brink of significant political change, as local sentiments lean toward independence from Denmark, while rejecting the idea of becoming part of the United States.
