Frederiksen Addresses US Espionage Allegations on Greenland

Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen comments for the first time on the reports that the US President Donald Trump ordered espionage against Greenland:

Of course, you cannot spy on an ally, she says at a brief press conference in connection with the JEF summit in Oslo.

Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reported that the US intelligence agencies are instructed to gather information about Greenland.

Among the tasks is to identify individuals who support the US ambitions to gain control over the Danish island, according to sources of the newspaper.
