NATO's approach to Greenland should remain calm, but also see a greater military presence by allies, the British and Danish defense ministers said at a news conference. Denmark's Troels Lund Poulsen said "the UK and Denmark, for the last two years, have argued that we should have a stronger NATO presence in the High North." #greenland #nato #military #militarydrill #denmark

🇩🇰 Denmark Moves to Reinforce Greenland Security Denmark has begun deploying military equipment and advance troops to Greenland, according to Danish broadcaster DR. An advance command unit has already arrived to prepare logistics and infrastructure for the possible deployment of larger Danish and allied forces. A Danish Air Force Challenger aircraft landed at Nuuk Airport on January 13, signaling the start of the buildup. Upcoming reinforcements are expected to include soldiers from Danish Army units, aimed at strengthening the Danish Armed Forces’ presence across the island. The Danish Defence Ministry is also reviewing the use of naval drones to enhance maritime security around Greenland. This move highlights Denmark’s growing focus on Greenland’s strategic importance in the Arctic.

Let’s clarify the Greenland position. Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark. It had recent elections in which there was ZERO support for Greenland to be part of the US. The JD Vance visit to Greenland yesterday was unwelcome. Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen rightly accused the US of exerting "unacceptable pressure" She said in a statement: “I have to say that it is unacceptable pressure being placed on Greenland and Denmark in this situation. You cannot make a private visit with official representatives from another country, when the acting Greenlandic government has made it very clear that they do not want a visit at this time,” Vance and his wife had to settle for visiting the US base, but still spewed Trump’s demands. This is clearly an open act of aggression towards an autonomous territory who have made it clear Greenland is not for sale. Just as an aside, if it was for sale, Denmark would be forced to ask the permission of the British Government. An agreement dating back to 1917 means Britain has first refusal on the Arctic island if current owners Denmark decide to sell it. 🎥 - CNN TikTok -

Let's get the facts straight regarding Trump's newest statements about Greenland: 1) Greenland has been owned by Denmark since 1380 and is today a fully integrated but self-governing part of Denmark. Very much like Alaska is part of the USA. 2) The USA does not have any historical claims to Greenland. On contrary they have signed numerous treaties with Denmark recognising Danish ownership. 3) The USA does NOT need Greenland for national security. The USA already has a defence agreement with Denmark that allows the USA to have as much military presence as they want in Greenland. They have decided to only have 150 troops currently. Why? Because: 4) Neither China nor Russia have any presence in Greenland at all. No companies, no mining, no consulates. Nothing. And they do not threaten Greenland. The only threat against Greenland is the USA.
