In 2019, Russian special services forged a letter that prompted US President-elect Donald Trump to announce a possible purchase of Greenland. This is reported by the telegram channel "in Russian" with reference to the Danish intelligence PET.
In 2019, Trump first announced that the United States could buy Greenland from Denmark. According to PET, his statement could have been the result of a Russian provocation. PET believes that the Russian special services fabricated a letter on behalf of the then Foreign Minister of Greenland, Ana Lone Bagger, to US Senator Tom Cotton.
Operation Letter was aimed at splitting the NATO countries and strengthening the influence of Russia and China in In the Arctic, Danish intelligence reported.
In 2019, Copenhagen reacted with ridicule to Trump's words, and he angrily canceled his state visit to Denmark. Now, on the eve of the inauguration, Trump has again voiced the idea of buying Greenland, and even hinted at the possibility of using force. This time Copenhagen decided to be cautious — Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen invited Trump to discuss strengthening cooperation in Greenland, and the Danish Ministry of Defense announced plans to increase its military presence on the island.
