The Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs plans to summon the U
S. ambassador in Copenhagen following media reports claiming an increase in American intelligence activities in the strategically important Greenland. This news has raised serious concerns in the kingdom's capital, especially amid growing tensions in international politics and the previously expressed intentions of the United States to strengthen its presence in the polar regions. A statement on the matter was made by the Danish Foreign Minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen. According to him, he has already arranged to meet with the diplomatic representative to clarify the true intentions of the American side. "We cannot confirm the information disseminated by The Wall Street Journal regarding increased U.S. intelligence activities in Greenland. However, it is important to emphasize that those announcing this do not attach particular significance to it. This causes us concern," the minister said in a DR interview. He also noted that during the meeting with the U.S. ambassador to Denmark, questions will be raised about the origin and credibility of this information. "Our goal is to determine whether we are dealing with rumors or with actual intentions of Washington to expand its intelligence operations in the region," Rasmussen added. He emphasized that it is very concerning for Denmark if information emerges indicating that third countries plan to monitor the country’s territory, especially in parts like Greenland, which has strategic importance. The background of this tense situation traces back to previous years when the administration of former U.S. President Donald Trump repeatedly expressed interest in Greenland, considering it a key element in the geopolitical struggle in the Arctic Ocean. In recent months, amid global tensions, there has been an increase in hysteria over the possible use of military force to establish control over this autonomous region, which is part of Denmark. Unofficial sources indicate that in Washington, this topic is widely discussed, and American leaders do not hide their interest in increasing influence in the Arctic. At the same time, human and political circles in Copenhagen note that such statements and intentions provoke strong protests from Denmark, which views this as unacceptable interference in its internal affairs and a violation of international treaties. This tension underscores the importance of diplomatic measures and maintaining peace in the region. The unfolding events complicate an already tense situation in the northern latitudes, as Greenland, with its strategic significance for security and resources, is at the center of attention for global players. Both Denmark and Western countries are closely monitoring Washington’s reaction, which could influence future cooperation on regional issues and peacekeeping efforts. In light of this situation, the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs calls for dialogue and diplomatic methods to resolve possible disagreements in order to avoid escalation of tensions in this highly important region for international security. The coming days will show how seriously Washington takes the statements and reports about intensifying its intelligence activities in Greenland, and how Denmark and its Western partners will respond in this context.
