The United States is reportedly ramping up espionage operations in Denmark and Greenland as part of an initiative to identify local sympathizers aligned with its territorial ambitions. This directive, stated in a Wall Street Journal report, is driven by the Trump administration's longstanding interest in acquiring Greenland, emphasizing a focus on understanding the region's independence movements and perspectives on U.S. resource exploitation. Intelligence efforts will include identifying local figures supportive of U.S. objectives, amid heightened concerns about foreign manipulation and espionage threats linked to increased American interest.
The directive is one of the first concrete steps Trump's administration has taken toward fulfilling the president's often-stated desire to acquire Greenland.
High-ranking officials under US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard last week issued a collection emphasis message to intelligence-agency heads, directing them to learn more about Greenlandic independence movements.
