Eight anonymous sources from government and authorities in Greenland and Denmark say at least three men with links to US President Donald Trump engaged in activities in Greenland intended to sow division between Greenland and Denmark. One man identified Greenlandic nationals sympathetic to Trump's plan to seize Greenland and could recruit them for a campaign toward Greenlandic breakaway and eventual US takeover. Sources described the activities as infiltration and manipulation within Greenlandic society. The men's status as independent actors or acting on orders remains unconfirmed. One man has been seen frequently with the US president and holds a recent appointment possibly affecting US security policy. Two others have travelled often between the United States and Greenland and cultivated ties with politicians, business figures and the public, prompting Danish security concern.
At least three men with connections to US President Donald Trump have been engaged in activities in Greenland, the broadcaster writes. One of the men's activities include identifying Greenlandic nationals who are sympathetic to Trump's plan to seize Greenland and could be recruited to take part in a campaign for a Greenlandic breakaway from Denmark and eventual takeover by the US.
The broadcaster has not been able to confirm whether the American men are following orders or working independently. It also writes that it knows the identity of the three men but is not publishing their names in order to protect its sources. One of the men has frequently been seen publicly with the US president and was recently appointed to a role that could give him influence over US security policies, the report states.
The two other men whose activities also concern Danish authorities have frequently travelled between the United States and Greenland over the last year and have previously worked for Trump. They have sought to cultivate ties with politicians, business figures and members of the public in Greenland, which DR's sources fear could secretly be used to support Trump's wish to take over the territory.
