Denmark summons US ambassador over Greenland spying report1 day ago Share Save Max Matza BBC News Share SaveGetty ImagesDenmark's foreign minister says he will summon the US ambassador to address a report that Washington's spy agencies have been told to focus on Greenland amid Donald Trump's threats to take over the island. "It worries me greatly because we do not spy on friends," Lars Løkke Rasmussen said, responding to the report in The Wall Street Journal. The Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) declined to comment on the article, but told Danish media that it had "naturally" taken note of US interest in Greenland. Based on international interest in Greenland in general, the agency said, there was an increased espionage threat against it and Denmark. During a speech to Congress in March, Trump told US lawmakers that "one way or the other, we're going to get it."
