DENMARK SUMMONS TOP US DIPLOMAT OVER ALLEGED GREENLAND INFLUENCE OPERATION

Denmark's foreign minister has summoned the top US diplomat in
Copenhagen, following a report that American citizens have been
conducting covert operations in Greenland.
Denmark's public broadcaster DR quoted sources as saying the aim was to
infiltrate Greenland's society and promote its secession from Denmark to
the US, although it was unable to clarify who the men were working for.
Danish intelligence warned Greenland was being targeted by various kinds
of influence campaigns.
Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said any attempt to interfere in the
internal affairs of the Kingdom will of course be unacceptable", and the US
charge d'affaires had been summoned in that light.
However, US President Trump has said several times he wants to annex
Greenland, an autonomous part of the Kingdom of Denmark, and Vice-
President JD Vance has accused Copenhagen of underinvesting in the
territory.
On a visit to Greenland a few months ago, Danish Prime Minister Mette
Frederiksen warned the US that cannot annex another country.
Denmark's foreign minister said in a statement to the BBC that the
government was "aware that foreign actors continue to show an interest in
Greenland and its position in the Kingdom of Denmark".
Denmark is a member of Nato and the European Union and has long seen
the US as one of its closest allies, and Danes have been shocked by
Trump's determination to control its semi-autonomous territory. The US
president said this year he would not rule out seizing it by force.
