Denmark Summons Trump Diplomat Over Report of Covert Operations in Greenland
Common DreamsSEP 2025
Trump's Greenland folly has taken a sad and disturbing turn, with individuals close to the President now spying on a NATO ally to support his vain wishes. The U.S. is isolating itself by being needlessly antagonistic towards allies like Denmark. This is not conduct befitting of the world's most powerful democracy.
Greenlanders do not need the help of the U.S. to raise pro-independence sentiments, since the long and sad history of colonial abuses from Denmark speaks for itself. These allegations are unproven, and Greenlanders have a right to determine their own course, and they stand much to gain from strengthening ties with America.
There is a 25% chance that Greenland will become independent before 2035, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
