The Danish government appoints a "Night Watch" because of... Donald
English actor Kit Harington plays Jon Snow, who guards the "Seven Kingdoms" from invaders as part of the "Night's Watch" in the TV series Game of Thrones.

The Danish government has set up a "Night Watch" at the Foreign Ministry, not to keep out the wildlings and White Walkers like in "Game of Thrones," but to monitor Donald Trump's statements and movements while Copenhagen sleeps.

The "Night Watch" begins work at 5 p.m. local time every day, and at 7 a.m. it compiles and distributes a report to the Danish government and relevant departments about what was said and happened.

It is understood the move follows diplomatic clashes between Copenhagen and Washington over Greenland this spring, when the US president threatened to take control of the Arctic island.

The local newspaper Politiken said the initiative was one of several examples of how Danish diplomacy and the country's civil service were forced to adapt to the new reality of the second Trump administration.

A source at the foreign ministry told The Guardian: “It is fair to say that the situation in Greenland and the time difference between Denmark and the United States were a very important factor leading to this decision in the spring.”

The role of the “Night Watch”

According to the newspaper Politiken, the Danish government has created a new unit within the Foreign Ministry, called "Night Watch", which is tasked with following Trump's statements and movements during hours when, due to the large time difference, Denmark may be more exposed to unexpected American initiatives that may target Greenland.

The service operates daily from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. At the end of each shift, an internal report is compiled and distributed to ministries and institutions, summarizing the night's developments. The unit was created after strong tensions between Copenhagen and Washington over Trump's offer to buy Greenland.

Politiken writes that this is just one of the ways in which Danish diplomacy has been forced to adapt to the reality of the second term of the Trump administration. A source close to the ministry told The Guardian that “the situation in Greenland and the large time difference between Denmark and the US have been key factors” in the creation of the new protocol since last spring.

Instead of ministers, officials, and civil and military authorities staying up all night checking news from the US themselves, the Foreign Ministry has set up a collective surveillance system to be informed about Trump at all times, says a government source.

The US is no longer Denmark's biggest ally

According to Jacob Kaarsbo, a former analyst at the defense intelligence agency, this shows that the old idea that the US is Denmark's largest and most important ally "has already fallen apart."

"Alliances are built on shared values ​​and a shared perception of threats. Trump doesn't share any of them, and the same goes for most other European countries," he says.

American interest in Greenland stems from the island's mineral wealth, including its valuable reserves of rare earth metals, as well as its strategic position in the Arctic corridors. Although the United States has had a military base there for decades, Greenland's autonomous government has repeatedly stated that it is "not for sale" and has no intention of becoming a US territory.

As a member of NATO, Denmark is officially a close ally of the United States. Meanwhile, in Greenland, there are parties that seek independence from Copenhagen, but not to end up as an American colony. And now, over the whole issue, the Night's Watch is also watching.
