From The Washington Examiner: Denmark’s foreign minister, Lars Lokke Rasmussen, expressed concern over reports that the United States’ intelligence community is stepping up scrutiny of Greenland amid President Donald Trump’s push to acquire the island.
“It worries me greatly because we do not spy on friends,” Rasmussen said, according to the Ritzau news agency.
His comments responded to a Wall Street Journal report claiming that top officials under Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard issued a “collection emphasis message” directing spy agencies “to learn more about Greenland’s independence movement and attitudes on American resource extraction on the island.” The report cited two anonymous sources and was condemned by Gabbard as “aiding deep state actors” and “breaking the law.”
Rasmussen said the report was “somewhat disturbing” during European Union ministers meeting in Warsaw.
“We are going to call in the U.S. acting ambassador for a discussion at the foreign ministry to see if we can confirm this information,” he said.

Dear American friends.
We agree that status quo in the Artcic is not an option.
So let’s talk about how we can fix it – together.
