The Denmark Government was not historically great consumption in Washington’s lobbying. But days before President Trump took the duty for the second time, the Danish Embassy began buying a lobbyist with relationships with the new president, who loudly declared his intention to try to take over the autonomous Danish territory of Greenland.

The Danes are not alone.

Numerous countries that would influence the threatening acquisition of Mr. Trump, tariffs, reduction of assistance or deportation, urgently sought help at the street in the street to move his administration.

Panama, which is pushing back Against Mr. Trump’s threat to regain the Panama Channel, he signed a contract three days before his inauguration, which could pay nearly $ 2.5 million to a lobbyist team in the next year, including the distinguished Trump ally David Urban of the BGR Group, according to the justice department lobbying sawdust.

BGR Group, a power plant founded by Republicans in the 1990 establishment, also signed 600,000 USD one -year contract At the end of November with the Somalia embassy, ​​which faces the appearance that Mr. Trump’s administration could A large military soldier.

And South Korea, which could hurt the tariffs, expanded its lobbyist corpus after the election to bring former Trump’s Bryan Lanza Campaign Advisor and his team in public affairs of Mercury, according to the words lobbying of submission and a person familiar with the engagement.

The increase in the interests of foreign governments in lobbyists with relationships with the new administration emphasizes the uncertainty with which even longtime US allies consider Mr. Trump. Administration Brinkmans with Colombia Through the tariff and deportations of unauthorized immigrants, they showed how quickly any tension can escalate.

The desire to help the chaotic approach of Mr. Trump in foreign policy is coming because his allies were increasingly becoming fastened in the Washington influence industry, which is a shift since he first assumed his duty after the campaign in which he committed himself. “Drain the swamp. “Back in 2017, few established lobbying companies had to do with their new administration, allowing a Wave of newcomer to them to be varnished on the street KBoulevard downtown that once was the capital of the capital lobbying companies.

Yet, shopping for lobbyists in the early days of the second administration of Mr. Trump created a dilemma for the influence of professionals who want to stay on his good side and maintain their approach while gaining results for their clients. By representing the land Mr. Trump aimed, he could risk a return from the president who was sensitive to the perception of non -sole or a spectrum of associates profiting from their affiliation with him.

The Danish Embassy was rejected by Brian Ballard, the highest raising of funds for Mr. Trump, familiar with the reach of the country who spoke about the state of anonymity to discover private discussions. Mr. Ballard’s company, headquartered in Florida, launched surgery in Washington at the beginning of Mr. Trump’s first term, and found himself in Great demand from election night. The company refused to comment.

The Danes also talked to BGR Group, according to four people with knowledge of discussions. One of them said the BGR group appeared unwavering to accept the engagement.

BGR Group spokesman did not respond to comment requests.

In a statement, the Danish Embassy said she “did not hire a lobbying company on that regard.” He refused to turn to seek him.

Jesper Moller Sorensen, Danish Ambassador to the United States, also refused in an interview to talk about Outreach on Ko Street, but said “Denmark is looking forward to having a very constructive relationship with Trump’s administration.”

The effort of Denmark to hire a well -connected hand in Washington is due to the increase in concern in Denmark and Greenland that Mr. Trump is the aforementioned intention to take control of the island. He hinted at the possibility The use of military force In order to make it easier to buy Greenland, a strategically important Arctic island, which is an independent territory of Denmark.

Danish and Greenland politicians categorically rejected the prospect of sale, sometimes in confrontation. The conflict is unlike everything the Danes have experienced in their recent relationship with the United States, one of the largest commercial partners in Denmark and main allies.

It is not clear when the Danes kept the traditional Lobist in Washington. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs paid US advisers during the Biden administration and the first term of Mr Trump for assistance to the public regarding US tourism, according to the records submitted to the Ministry of Justice under the Law on Registration of Foreign Agents. Previously, the embassy last paid such assistance in 2016, when she kept Fleishman-Hillard two months to help promote a trade mission.

The types of government interactions to the Government where Danes and Greenlanders relied in Washington have no desired effect in the current situation.

Five days before Mr. Trump took the duty, he had a controversial 45-minute phone call with the Prime Minister of Mette Frederixen from Denmark. She has made various prop

On Tuesday, Prime Minister of Mute Egeda from Greenland told reporters that his government was trying to establish a meeting with Mr. Trump to talk about their opposition to sale.

“You can’t bypass the fact that if they want to talk about Greenland, they have to talk to Greenland,” Mr. Egede said.

Rufus Gifford, the main democratic collection of funds, which was an American ambassador to Denmark under President Barack Obama and remains friendly with the king of Danish and other leaders there, said that Mr. Trump’s position had launched a crisis in the political class.

“They are shocked, which quickly turns into anger,” he said. “The Danish Prime Minister who loses Greenland to another country will be laughing until the end of time.”

“They have limited tickets,” Mr. Gifford added from Danes, “but they had to play the ones they have and see what’s going on.”

The direction of the Panaman government is also ticklish. The country was Dissatisfied threats of Mr. Trump To regain the channel, which is important for Panama’s economy. Experts see the threat as a possible negotiation tactic to win a more favorable treatment for US ships that use the passage or to draw additional obligations to limit the flow of migrants through the country on their way to the US border.

Panama has signed a BGR Payment Agreement this month More than $ 205,000 per month To represent him in Washington for a year. As part of this representation, BGR agreed to pay 100,000 USD monthly Manny Ortiz company, a lobbyist who was a connection with Democrats and in Latin America, Under the contract submitted to the Ministry of Justice.

Fees are greater than those in a contract under which Panama agreed to pay BGR $ 60,000 a month approximately one year during the biden administration.

The dedication of Trump’s administration administration to acquire the channel is underlined into the decision of State Secretary Marc Rubio to visit the country during his first foreign journey, set for later this week.
