Denmark has summoned US diplomat to explain why American spies are conducting operations in Greenland
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2025/08/27/denmark-greenland-influence-operation/85844929007/Denmark summoned the top American diplomat in Copenhagen following a report in Danish media alleging that American citizens have been conducting covert influence operations in Greenland aimed at interfering with the island's political status.
The Aug. 27 report from Denmark's state broadcaster DR said Danish intelligence services uncovered a network of at least three people working on "influence operations" in Greenland to drive a wedge between Denmark and its territory, which President Donald Trump has said he wants to become part of the United States.
...
According to the DR report, all three Americans had alleged "ties" to Trump. One American allegedly visited Greenland to attend meetings and compile a list of potential allies and opponents of Trump's desire to take over the territory.
The two other Americans were allegedly involved in building networks of contacts with politicians, business figures and community leaders to pursue Trump's plans. DR said it knew the names of the three American men involved in the alleged spying operations, but chose not to publish them to protect sources. DR said it was not able to determine whether the Americans were working on their own initiative or as a result of an order.

I'm just surprised Trump doesn't get his buddy Putin to interfere in Greenland since they were so successful in America.
