- An American man with close ties to President Trump and the White House visits Nuuk to compile a list of Greenlandic citizens supporting Trump's plans to take over Greenland.
- The man is part of at least three Americans conducting secret influence operations in Greenland, aiming to weaken Greenland's ties with Denmark.
- Activities include recruiting Greenlanders for a secession movement and collecting names of both supporters and opponents of Trump.
- Authorities are concerned about these operations, described as 'infiltration' and 'influence campaigns,' potentially undermining Greenlandic democracy.
- PET (Danish Intelligence) confirms Greenland is a target for influence campaigns aimed at creating discord between Greenland and Denmark.
- The U.S. strategy involves three phases: charm offensive, pressure on Denmark, and infiltration of Greenlandic society.
- Greenland's special status complicates legal responses, as activities fall into a gray zone between legitimate influence and espionage.
- The White House denies directing private citizens' actions but emphasizes respect for Greenland's right to self-determination.
