Denmark Summons US Ambassador Over Greenland Espionage Allegations by Tulsi Gabbard

Denmark has summoned the US ambassador following reports of American intelligence agencies intensifying espionage activities in Greenland, a semi-autonomous Danish territory. The move comes after a Wall Street Journal report suggested that US intelligence officials, under the direction of Tulsi Gabbard, were directed to gather detailed information on Greenland's independence movement and its stance on US resource extraction. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen expressed strong disapproval, stating, "you cannot spy against an ally," in response to the allegations. The Danish Foreign Ministry has engaged with US officials, with Jennifer Hall Godfrey, the acting head of the US Embassy in Copenhagen, meeting with high-ranking Danish diplomat Jeppe Tranholm-Mikkelsen to discuss the issue. The tension between the US and Denmark has escalated, particularly as President Donald Trump has expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, even refusing to rule out the use of military force. Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen has condemned the reported espionage as disrespectful and unacceptable.
