Denmark sends more troops to Greenland as Trump renews interest in territory

Denmark is deploying additional military forces to Greenland. The move is described as a defensive measure following renewed public statements by President Donald Trump about acquiring control of the Arctic territory.

Danish officials, including the Prime Minister, have stated that a military conflict is 'not likely' but that Greenland 'must be prepared'. The U.S. and Canadian military command has also announced the planned arrival of military aircraft in the region, describing the activities as 'long-planned'.
