Ane Lone Bagger is the Minister of Education, Culture, Church and Foreign Affairs of Greenland. An aircraft mechanic by training, Bagger was employed as a flight attendant, air traffic controller, and insurance agent prior to taking up her current post. She is a former member of the Qaasuitsup Kommunia municipal council.[1] On January 13, 2022, Reuters News reported that she was the victim of an alleged hoax perpetuated by Russian influence agents,[2] in which a letter purporting to be from her was sent to U.S. Senator Tom Cotton in 2019. The letter claims that Greenland would be conducting a referendum on gaining independence from Denmark, and indicated that closer ties with the United States could be achieved. Senator Cotton was a close ally of U.S. President Donald Trump, and after the letter was received President Trump suggested that the United States was interested in purchasing Greenland.[3] This suggestion was largely scoffed at by foreign policy experts, and never came to fruition.
