OSLO (Reuters) - Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said on Wednesday he would call in the acting U.S. ambassador to Denmark after the Wall Street Journal reported United States President Donald Trump administration ordered U.S. intelligence agencies to step up spying on Greenland.

"I have read the article in the Wall Street Journal and it worries me greatly because we do not spy on friends," Rasmussen told reporters during an informal meeting of EU foreign ministers in Warsaw.

"We are going to call in the U.S. acting ambassador for a discussion at the foreign ministry to see if we can confirm this information, which is somewhat disturbing," Rasmussen added.

Trump has repeatedly said he wants to take over Greenland, a semi-autonomous Danish territory and expand existing U.S. military presence on the island.
