Reports: Denmark considers increasing US control over Greenland

According to Axios, Denmark has contacted President-elect Donald Trump’s staff to discuss a possible expansion of the US military presence in Greenland.

According to insider sources, Copenhagen has also expressed a desire to avoid public conflict with Trump and sought clarification on his recent statements that Greenland should belong to the US.

Trump recently attracted attention when he suggested that the US should acquire the self-governing Arctic island from Denmark. He described the ownership of Greenland as an “absolute necessity” for US national security and would not rule out the use of military and economic pressure against Denmark to enforce his demands. However, the actual details of how his administration would try to convince Denmark to cede control of Greenland are scarce.

The Danish government has made it clear that Greenland is not for sale, but according to Axios, it has also signaled a willingness “to discuss any other US request regarding the island”.

The US has had a military presence in Greenland since World War II and still operates a military base in the northwestern part of the island under a defense agreement with Denmark. The agreement also allows the US to establish additional military facilities, and during the Cold War the island was an important location for US infrastructure to provide early warning of incoming ballistic missiles.

“For the the Greenlandic people”

Both Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenlandic leader Mute Egede have expressed opposition to Trump’s idea of buying the island. At the same time, Denmark’s Prime Minister confirmed earlier this week that she proposed negotiations with Trump’s staff with the aim of “strengthening the security of the Western alliance”.

Egede, in turn, has stressed Greenland’s commitment to independence but opened up to continued cooperation with the US.

– Greenland is for the Greenlandic people. We do not want to be Danish, we do not want to be American, he stated at a recent press conference, but also promised that the island will continue to cooperate with the US on security issues.

Danish People’s Party demands mass deportations: “We must get Denmark back”

Migration crisis in Europe

Morten Messerschmidt wants to see a Denmark "where Danes are once again masters in their own house".

With proposals for mass deportations, citizenship reviews, and extensive bans on Islamic expressions, the Danish People’s Party (Dansk Folkeparti) is campaigning on an immigration policy that is very radical by Nordic standards.

— We must get Denmark back. A Denmark where there are no headscarves in schools. Where Danish is spoken in nursing homes. Where Danes are once again masters in their own house, argues party leader Morten Messerschmidt.

The DF notes that the demographic composition of Denmark has changed drastically since the 1980s, when the proportion of residents with non-Western backgrounds was 1 percent. Today, 10.1 percent of the population, equivalent to over 500,000 people, have non-Western origins.

The party particularly points to immigration from the Middle East and North Africa – including from Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Somalia – as the cause of the country’s extensive social problems.

In the manifesto, a series of negative consequences are listed: ghetto formation, ethnic conflicts, radicalization, clan cultures, honor violence, social control, persecution of Jews and sexual minorities, infiltration of public authorities, Islamic censorship, and gender segregation. The DF claims this constitutes “the largest demographic change in Danish history”.

“Immigration from the Middle East and North Africa in particular brings a lot of crime and is fundamentally changing our country. If you do not want to adopt Danish culture and Danish values, the Danish People’s Party will work to ensure that you stay somewhere else”, it states.

Citizenship review

The program contains proposals that go significantly further than current Danish legislation. The DF wants to review all citizenships granted over the past two decades. For those who received citizenship in the past eight years, new language and citizenship tests should be introduced. Those who fail the tests should lose their Danish citizenship.

Criminals should also lose their citizenship, and the party wants Denmark to try to leave or renegotiate international agreements that limit the ability to make people stateless.

To enforce deportations, the DF wants to use economic pressure against countries that oppose receiving their citizens. Aid should be withdrawn and economic sanctions imposed. The party proposes that a special ministry for returns should be established.

Those who accept financial support to leave Denmark should be banned from ever returning. Border controls should be made permanent and strengthened.

Restrictions on Islam

The DF’s program also includes a series of measures specifically targeting Islam and Muslims. The party wants to ban or heavily tax halal products, stop foreign financing of mosques, and withdraw state recognition of Islamic religious communities.

Domestically, the party wants to ban the call to prayer, prohibit headscarves in public buildings, and shut down Muslim independent schools. Permanent residence permits should only be granted to persons of Danish origin. Foreign citizens whom police list as gang members should be deported.

“Remigration now”

Messerschmidt has intensified his criticism of Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s immigration policy in recent weeks, which he calls “the great immigration fiasco”.

“We must have Denmark back. A Denmark where there are no scarves in schools. Where Danish is spoken in nursing homes. Where the Danes are masters of their own house again. The most important issue of all is the issue of repatriations. That is why we need a remigration policy”, Messerschmidt wrote on social media last week.

In another post, he claimed that immigration has increased sharply during Frederiksen’s time as prime minister:

“REMIGRATION AND HOME SHIPMENTS NOW! Since Mette Frederiksen became Prime Minister, Islamic mass immigration has increased by a staggering 124 percent. In fact, she has allowed as many as 40,000 Islamic foreigners into our country since she came to power in 2019”.

Danish government wants to ban social media for children

Children under 15 banned from social media, with parental consent allowed from age 13.

The Danish government is moving in the same direction as neighboring Norway and wants to see a ban on social media for children. The proposal means that all children under 15 years old would not be allowed to create accounts on social media platforms.

During this week’s opening speech at the Folketing (Danish Parliament), which marks the beginning of autumn work for the Danish government, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen declared that there are now plans to introduce a national age limit for social media.

— Mobile phones and social media are stealing our children’s childhood, says Frederiksen according to Danish state broadcaster DR.

The proposal would mean that all children under 15 years old would be prohibited from creating accounts on social media. However, parents would be able to give their children permission from the day they turn 13.

Other countries have also moved in a similar direction. Neighboring Norway has also put forward a similar proposal for a national age limit of 15 years. In Australia, lawmakers have passed a law that means young people under 16 years old are not allowed to create accounts on social media.

“Unleashed a monster”

The Prime Minister points to screens creating both addiction and poor mental health among young people, and that the government wants to protect children from the digital reality that often contains things young people shouldn’t see. According to Frederiksen, parents have “said yes to mobile phones in our children’s lives with the best of intentions, so they could call home and communicate with their family members”.

— But we have unleashed a monster, she says.

Ukrainian weapons factory in Denmark – citizens barred from appeals

The war in Ukraine

The factory in Skrydstrup, Denmark, will primarily produce rocket fuel for the "Flamingo" cruise missile.

Ukrainian weapons manufacturer Fire Point is establishing a rocket fuel factory in Skrydstrup, Denmark. To expedite the establishment, the Danish government is using a controversial law that bypasses citizens’ right to appeal – and therefore does not need to consider local residents’ concerns.

Just on the other side of the fence from Skrydstrup Air Base, where Denmark’s new F-35 fighter jets are stationed, Ukrainian weapons company Fire Point is set to begin production of solid rocket fuel on December 1st. The announcement came during a press conference with Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen (Liberal Party).

— We are proud to welcome them to Denmark. As a country, we are now contributing to ensuring that Ukraine can fight the important battle against the superior power Russia, claims the minister, who has personally visited the company in Ukraine.

Fire Point is behind Ukraine’s new cruise missile “Flamingo”, which according to reports was recently used against a Russian base in Crimea. The weapon reportedly has a range of 3,000 kilometers and has been described by President Volodymyr Zelensky as the country’s “most successful” missile.

It is precisely the solid rocket fuel for this missile that will now be produced in Skrydstrup, where local residents have expressed strong concerns about potential security risks.

“Dialogue” to reassure citizens

To enable the rapid establishment, the Danish government is using the criticized law that removes citizens’ right to appeal and gives authorities free rein to bypass other laws when a project is deemed to serve essential national defense goals or civil preparedness purposes.

Local residents have reacted with concern about having a rocket fuel factory in their vicinity, and a public meeting is being held on Saturday, where both the defense minister and Business Minister Morten Bødskov (Social Democrats) will meet with worried citizens.

— I understand very well the many concerns that potentially arise in and around Skrydstrup, admits Troels Lund Poulsen.

Haderslev’s mayor Mads Skau (Liberal Party) is trying to balance between the government’s decision and dissatisfied citizens’ concerns.

— We will ensure that it remains safe for citizens to live in the area. We do this through dialogue. I have told the ministers that it is important they keep citizens informed about what is happening.

“Hundreds of jobs”

Business Minister Bødskov is careful to emphasize that the factory will create “several hundred jobs”, primarily for unskilled workers.

Despite using the controversial law, he insists that safety will not be compromised:

— The requirements that exist for safety distances to the surroundings we do not touch. The same applies to requirements for transporting rocket fuel. What applies today will also apply tomorrow.

Danish media: American agents infiltrating Greenland

Donald Trump's USA

Published 28 August 2025
– By Editorial Staff
Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that Greenland should become American.

At least three Americans with ties to President Donald Trump are conducting influence operations in Greenland aimed at undermining the relationship between Denmark and Greenland.

The men are mapping Trump-friendly Greenlanders and gathering information that could be used to damage Denmark’s reputation, according to sources speaking to Danish media.

Actors with direct connections to the White House are conducting systematic attempts to infiltrate Greenlandic society. The goal is to create a pro-American independence movement and weaken ties to Denmark, reveal several anonymous sources with insight into the matter to Danish public broadcaster DR.

One of the men, who has often been seen publicly with President Trump and recently received a role with influence over US security policy, landed earlier this year in snow-covered Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, with a clear mission. He established lists of both Trump sympathizers and opponents among Greenlandic citizens, it is reported.

At the same time, he is said to have collected material about controversial Danish affairs – such as forced removals of Greenlandic children and the so-called spiral affair where Danish doctors inserted contraceptives into Greenlandic women without consent.

— What we see is the use of soft power, influence and attempts to create internal division, says a source to the channel.

Danish security service confirms influence campaigns

Both Danish authorities and the country’s government are now closely monitoring the Americans’ movements on the Arctic island. Two of the men, both with backgrounds in the Trump administration, have regularly traveled between the US and Greenland in recent years to build networks among politicians and businessmen.

— We are all worried about this. Of course we are, confirms a government source.

The Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) also confirms that Greenland is being subjected to influence campaigns and that they are in “ongoing and close dialogue with the Greenlandic authorities about developments in the threat picture”.

According to PET’s assessment, the campaigns aim to “create division in the relationship between Greenland and Denmark” by exploiting real or fabricated conflicts.

American strategy in three phases

Sources within the government describe the Trump administration’s Greenland strategy as divided into three distinct phases since the president declared in December 2024 that American “ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity”.

First came the charm offensive, symbolized by Donald Trump Jr.’s high-profile visit to Nuuk in January. This was followed by pressure on Denmark, when Vice President J.D. Vance visited the American Pituffik base in March and accused Denmark of betraying the Greenlanders. Now the strategy is in its third phase according to sources: infiltration of Greenlandic society.

One source warns that the summer’s calmer activity may be misleading:

— Perhaps what we are experiencing right now is the calm before the storm. And perhaps the fewer activities in Greenland are an expression that professional institutions have begun to operate, which they will be better at hiding, he speculates.

Concerns were heightened after the Wall Street Journal’s reporting in May that American intelligence services had been ordered to intensify espionage in Greenland, focusing on the independence movement and mapping Trump sympathizers.

Sensitive for Denmark

The American activities also place Danish power holders in a delicate position. While they want to alert Greenlanders to the influence attempts and prevent them, they are simultaneously concerned for political reasons about not being perceived as interfering in Greenland’s internal affairs.

— Greenlanders are welcome to work for independence, and the US is welcome to invest and work for stronger ties to Greenland, explains one source, but emphasizes that there are limits that must not be crossed.

— No one is allowed to spy – not even the Americans.

The White House has declined to comment on the allegations from Danish media, and the US embassy in Copenhagen, Denmark refers to the fact that “the American government does not control or direct the actions of private citizens” and that they “respect the Greenlandic people’s right to determine their own future”.
