Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen summoned the top US diplomat in Copenhagen on 27 Aug 2025. This followed reports that some Americans conducted secret influence operations in Greenland. The goal was to promote Greenland's separation from Denmark and closer ties to the US. Denmark called such interference unacceptable. Greenland is an autonomous part of Denmark. US President Trump has expressed interest in taking over Greenland. Danish intelligence warned about foreign attempts to influence Greenland's future. Denmark has increased security cooperation in Greenland. The US diplomat summoned is Mark Stroh, the charge d'affaires in Copenhagen. The US embassy has not commented on the reports. (Updated 27 Aug 2025, 14:54 IST; source: link)
