Denmark is demanding answers from the U.S. after reports of alleged spy plans targeting Greenland, escalating tensions between the NATO allies. 🇩🇰🤝🇺🇸
The Arctic Chill
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen confirmed Wednesday he’ll summon the U.S. ambassador following a Wall Street Journal report claiming American intelligence aims to identify Greenlandic and Danish figures who align with U.S. strategic goals in the Arctic. 🗞️ “We don’t spy between friends,” Rasmussen declared, adding the lack of strong U.S. denial “worries me.”
From ‘Buy Greenland’ to Spy Games?
The drama echoes 2019, when former U.S. President Donald Trump floated buying Greenland – a move Denmark called “absurd.” Now, reports suggest espionage efforts to “weaken the unity” of Denmark’s kingdom. Rasmussen insists the U.S. wouldn’t succeed but warned: “All people are impressionable.”
Why Greenland Matters
Greenland’s vast resources and Arctic position make it geopolitically vital. Though autonomous, Denmark handles its defense and foreign policy. The Danish Intelligence Service recently warned of “elevated espionage threats” there, as global powers eye the region’s melting ice and trade routes. 🌍❄️
