Danish Intel: Fake Letter Tricked Trump Into Greenland Purchase Bid
Danish intelligence alleges a 2019 Russian operation forged a letter from Greenland’s former foreign minister, aiming to instigate a US purchase of Greenland and thereby fracture NATO unity. This fabricated communication, purportedly thanking a US Senator for financial aid and suggesting a Greenlandic independence referendum, seemingly influenced President Trump’s subsequent interest in acquiring the island. Trump’s proposal, met with Danish derision, was ultimately linked by PET to broader Russian Arctic ambitions alongside China. The Kremlin subsequently used Trump’s statements to justify its actions in Ukraine.
