US EditionUS reaffirms Greenland's right to self-determination amid political sway allegations
The US government reaffirmed Greenland's right to self-determination after Danish intelligence accused private US citizens linked to Trump of encouraging Greenland's secession, officials said.
- On Aug 27, Chargé d'Affaires Mark Stroh met Danish and Greenlandic officials in Copenhagen after Danish intelligence alleged private U.S. citizens tried to sway political sentiment in Greenland, with the U.S. declining comment on intelligence matters.
- Denmark summoned the envoy after a DR report stating at least three Americans with ties to President Donald Trump were suspected of promoting Greenland's secession, while PET warned Greenland remains a likely influence target and MP Aaja Chemnitz linked this to Trump's broader activities.
- Local politics show momentum: in the March general election in Greenland, a pro-business party advocating gradual independence won while a party favouring rapid independence garnered a quarter of the vote amid President Donald Trump's interest in acquiring Greenland.
- The U.S. State Department said Stroh had a 'productive conversation' and reaffirmed strong ties with Denmark and Greenland, while Greenlandic officials demanded respect for sovereignty and said, `The United States should not be allowed to influence our future in this way.`
- Looking ahead, Washington emphasized it does not control private citizens' actions and declined to comment on intelligence matters, while Denmark seeks to strengthen ties with Greenland and allies as the U.S. mission is led by Chargé d'Affaires Mark Stroh pending Ken Howery's appointment.
