Denmark summons US envoy over claims of influence ops in Greenland - DW News



Denmark's government has summoned America's top diplomat in Copenhagen over reports of US nationals allegedly carrying out "influence operations" on the island. Danish media say at least three US citizens with links to President Trump were attempting to promote Greenland's secession from Denmark and joining the United States. President Trump has repeatedly expressed his desire to take control of the Arctic territory, which is largely autonomous but part of the Kingdom of Denmark. We got insights from Ulrik Pram Gad from the Danish Institute for International Studies, DW Correspondent Jack Parrock, and Marisol Maddox, senior Arctic fellow at the Institute of Arctic Studies at Dartmouth University.
