Aug. 27 (UPI) -- The Danish government summoned a top American diplomat on Wednesday on allegations that the United States is operating covertly in Greenland.
Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen confirmed to UPI in a statement that he asked the ministry to summon the U.S. diplomat for a meeting.
"We are aware that foreign actors continue to show an interest in Greenland and its position in the Kingdom of Denmark," Ramussen said. "It is therefore not surprising if we experience outside attempts to influence the future of the kingdom in the time ahead."
Denmark's public broadcaster DR reported Wednesday that based on information from eight sources whose identities are being kept anonymous, at least three Americans with connections to President Donald Trump have attempted to weaken Greenland's relationship with Denmark.
