JAKARTA - Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen summoned the top US diplomat in Copenhagen regarding Danish intelligence reports that US citizens carried out covert operations in Greenland.
Public broadcaster DR quoted an anonymous source as saying the government believed at least three US citizens with ties to President Donald Trump's administration had been involved in an influence operation aimed at encouraging Greenland's separation from Denmark to the United States.
"We recognize that foreign actors continue to show interest in Greenland and his position in the Kingdom of Denmark," the Danish Foreign Minister said.
"Therefore, it is not surprising that we are experiencing external efforts to influence the future of the Kingdom in the future," said Rasmussen.
Neither the broadcaster nor the ministry mentioned the names of individuals tagged in the intelligence report.
The US Embassy in Copenhagen did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Trump previously said he wanted the US to take over Greenland, Denmark's mineral-rich semi-autonomous region and strategically located in the Arctic, for national and international security reasons.

His proposal was rejected rawly in Copenhagen and Nuuk, the capital of Greenland.
Although Trump also expressed his respect for Greenland's right to determine his own future, his remarks about the potential for the region's seizure have forcibly sparked uncertainty among its 57,000 residents.
