Tensions are rising between the United States and Denmark as reports emerge of covert operations by Trump-affiliated individuals aimed at swaying public opinion in Greenland, a territory of Denmark that Trump has long expressed interest in acquiring.
Danish intelligence agencies have raised alarms over foreign influence campaigns targeting Greenland, prompting the Danish Foreign Minister to summon U.S. diplomats to protest these alleged actions.
In a show of solidarity for Greenland’s autonomy, the U.S. State Department reiterated its support for the territory's right to self-determination, while acknowledging the seriousness of the allegations.
Reports indicate that U.S. operatives have been creating lists of pro-American Greenlanders and working to undermine those opposed to Trump’s influence, intensifying concerns about interference in Danish governance.
The situation has attracted international media scrutiny, turning it into a flashpoint for broader geopolitical discussions about Arctic sovereignty and U.S. foreign policy.
With diplomatic channels active, both nations are navigating the fallout from these developments, amidst a backdrop of escalating global tensions and a complex web of alliances.
