Denmark to Summon U.S. Ambassador Over Trump-Ordered Espionage Plans in Greenland, PET Data Collection Proposal

The Danish Foreign Minister has announced plans to summon the acting U.S. Ambassador to Denmark to discuss recent media reports concerning U.S. intentions to intensify espionage activities in Greenland. This move follows a Wall Street Journal report indicating that the Trump administration directed U.S. intelligence agencies to increase surveillance on Greenland. The Danish government is seeking explanations regarding these allegations of potential U.S. spying in the region. The announcement has been confirmed by multiple sources including AFP and various international news outlets. Additionally, there is a separate development within Denmark where the government intends to grant its intelligence agency, PET, the authority to collect and analyze personal data of citizens, including sensitive healthcare information, without requiring reasonable suspicion.
