Media: Danish intelligence agencies report for the first time to list the United States as a national threat
According to Danish media BT, the Danish Defense Intelligence Service will list the United States as a threat to Denmark for the first time in its latest threat assessment report.
It is reported that the report will be officially released on Wednesday.
BT cited news from the Danish newspaper Berlingske, which stated: "The United States is listed for the first time as a negative source of threat to Denmark."
The newspaper pointed out that the document states that the United States now uses its economic and technological power as a means to exert influence, even against allies and partners. According to Danish media reports, in addition to the United States, Russia and China are also listed as threats to Denmark's security.
At the same time, BT cited remarks by Thomas Aarup, director of the Danish Defense Intelligence Service, stating that Copenhagen still considers Washington its strongest ally and a guarantor of European security.
US President Trump has repeatedly stated that Greenland should become part of the United States. He emphasized the strategic importance of Greenland for national security and protecting the "free world," especially from the threats of China and Russia. The former Prime Minister of Greenland, Mette Frederiksen, responded that Greenland will not be sold now and will never be sold. Trump also refused to commit to not using force to determine control over Greenland.
Greenland was a Danish colony before 1953. It is still part of the Kingdom of Denmark, but in 2009 it gained autonomy and can make its own choices on internal affairs.
