Reference News Network, December 15 report: According to the Japanese "Sankei Shimbun" website, on December 15, it cited Danish media reports stating that the Danish Defense Intelligence Service, in its annual report, has for the first time designated the United States as a "potential security threat." This is the first time Denmark has explicitly expressed concerns about its NATO ally, the United States.
The Trump administration showed intent to possess the Danish autonomous territory of Greenland and did not deny using military options for this purpose.
The report said that the Danish Defense Intelligence Service's report released on the 10th pointed out that the United States, by leveraging its economic power, imposes its will on other countries, even resorting to force against allies, including threatening with increased tariffs.
The report also analyzed that competition over Arctic region interests among countries such as the United States and Russia is becoming increasingly fierce. "In particular, the United States has increased its attention to Greenland from the perspective of national security," and these series of moves have posed a threat to Denmark.
In addition, as the role of the United States as a "security guarantor for Europe" becomes increasingly uncertain, Russia may intensify hybrid attacks on NATO, including sabotage activities and spreading disinformation.
The issue of Greenland has led to a cooling of relations between the United States and Denmark. In August, at least three Americans, including officials from the Trump administration, secretly entered Greenland to carry out "influence operations" aimed at mobilizing locals to support the U.S. ownership of Greenland. The Danish government lodged a protest with the U.S. government. (Translated by Ma Xiaoyun)
