Denmark says it will summon a US diplomat over report on increased US intel gathering in Greenland

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Denmark says it will summon the top U.S. diplomat in the country for an explanation following a Wall Street Journal report about the United States stepping up intelligence gathering on Greenland, a semi-autonomous Danish territory coveted by President Donald Trump.

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen told broadcaster DR outside a meeting Wednesday with colleagues in Poland that Denmark would summon the U.S. chargé d’affaires to seek a “rebuttal” or other explanation following the report.
