Hey trendsetters! 🌍 Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has slammed any foreign meddling in Greenland as unacceptable. She’s responding to a DR report that US-linked individuals close to the White House ran secret influence campaigns on the Arctic island.
The report says they set up private networks and even created lists of local figures based on their stance toward US interest in Greenland. Frederiksen stressed Denmark’s clear disagreement over these covert moves and vowed to take the issue seriously.
She also pointed out that Washington has not directly denied the allegations, which she says is a serious concern.
To get answers, Frederiksen raised the topic in a meeting with US senators alongside Greenland’s Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt. Denmark’s Foreign Ministry even summoned the US charge d’affaires for talks. 🔥
This isn’t the first time the US has eyed Greenland. Former President Trump discussed possibly using military or economic pressure to gain control of the island. Now, Danish intelligence warns these influence ops are aimed at stirring tension between Copenhagen and Nuuk.
Why it matters? In our fast-paced digital world, secret campaigns can sway public opinion just like viral social media trends. For young activists and curious minds across South and Southeast Asia, this is a reminder to stay alert to how major powers can shape local politics—even in places as remote as Greenland. 🗳️✨
Stay curious and keep questioning the narratives—because real democracy thrives when we all stay informed! 💡
