Iceland PM warns of foreign interference ahead of EU referendum
Icelandic Prime Minister Frostadóttir warned on April 28, 2026, that foreign interference from the EU, China, Russia, and the U.S. will not be tolerated as the nation moves toward an August referendum on EU membership. The drive for membership is increasingly framed as a security necessity following regional instability and U.S. strategic interest in the Greenland-Iceland-United Kingdom (GIUK) gap, which has intensified during the current global energy and security crisis.
