Has the US studied military facilities in Greenland?

It is claimed that the US sought information about military infrastructure in Greenland According to Denmark's "Berlingske" publication, in 2025 the United States made an informal attempt to gather information about infrastructure in Greenland, specifically military facilities. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

The publication emphasizes that this process was carried out without the official involvement of the Danish government and outside the usual diplomatic-military relations. According to the information, US representatives asked their Danish counterparts in Greenland to provide data on military facilities, ports, and airbases.

These conclusions are based on documents obtained from the Danish Ministry of Defense, which were redacted for security reasons. According to "Berlingske," the US actions are aimed at preparing for possible military plans regarding Greenland, including considering options for intervention or the use of force on the island.

The publication evaluates this process as a "preliminary reconnaissance of the territory." As competition in the Arctic intensifies, any request for information around Greenland can become a geopolitical issue.

European officials warn that this matter could also affect NATO relations. For this reason, Greenland is no longer just an ordinary icy island but has become a strategic area where the interests of major powers collide.

Today's attempts to obtain information may well lead to serious problems tomorrow in diplomacy, security, and alliance matters.
