Denmark’s Response to US Intelligence Operations in Greenland
Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen asserted that “you cannot spy against an ally” following reports of US intelligence efforts focusing on Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark. This statement reflects ongoing tensions stemming from former President Donald Trump’s attempts to pursue US control over the island, amidst revelations of US agencies monitoring Greenland’s independence movement and resource sentiment. In response, Denmark’s foreign minister summoned the US ambassador to discuss these concerning reports detailed in The Wall Street Journal.
