Officials summoned the American ambassador and pushed to shut a consulate on the Arctic island after the Trump Administration was said be ratcheting up surveillance.

The spying order, known as a “collection emphasis message,” was sent to the heads of U.S. intelligence agencies instructing the use of surveillance satellites, wiretaps, and spies to gather information in Greenland and Denmark,

The classified “collection emphasis” instructions, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, ordered agency chiefs to use spies and electronic tools to identify Greenlandic and Danish supporters of Trump’s goals, and to learn more about Greenland’s secession movement and attitudes toward US resource extraction.
