Reference Message Network reported on May 9 according to a report on the Singapore United Daily News website on May 9, Danish Foreign Minister Rasmussen summoned the U.S.代办大使 Godfrey of the U.S. Embassy in Denmark, emphasizing that Denmark "cannot tolerate" American espionage activities.
According to reports, the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on May 8 that the focus of the discussion between Denmark and the United States was an article published by The Wall Street Journal on June 6 reporting that U.S. intelligence agencies would strengthen their espionage activities in Greenland. A representative of the autonomous government of Greenland also attended the meeting.
Rasmussen told reporters after the meeting that Denmark had clearly expressed its position to Godfrey: "We are allies of the United States, therefore we cannot tolerate espionage activities." He also said that he could not yet confirm the accuracy of the report by The Wall Street Journal, "The purpose of this summons is to convey to the U.S. side our high regard for the content of the report."
The report said that Prime Minister of the Autonomous Government of Greenland, Nelson, told Danish Radio Company: "The espionage behavior of the United States in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, is completely unacceptable. It is extremely disrespectful to an ally and is completely abnormal."
After President Trump's election last year, he repeatedly expressed strong willingness to take control of Greenland, and even said he would not rule out the possibility of taking control of Greenland through "military or economic coercion".
