Europe Boosts Greenland Military Presence Amid Trump's Arctic Threats

  • European nations, including the UK, Norway, and France, have increased their military presence in Greenland.
  • This move is a symbolic and practical show of unity among European NATO members, reinforcing support for Greenland and Denmark's sovereignty.
  • The deployments come amidst Donald Trump's repeated threats to assert US control over the mineral-rich Arctic territory.
  • France deployed 15 soldiers to Greenland's Nuuk area as part of Operation Arctic Endurance, coordinating with Danish defence authorities.
  • Danish government welcomes allied participation, hinting at a larger, more permanent NATO presence in Greenland by 2026.

Why It Matters: European allies are strengthening military presence in Greenland to counter US pressure and bolster Arctic security.
