NATO Deploys Troops to Greenland Amid Arctic Security Concerns and Russian Warnings

NATO has deployed a symbolic force of 37 troops to Greenland under Operation Arctic Endurance, led by Denmark, to assert sovereignty amid increased Arctic interest. Denmark emphasizes the focus on Russia as a security concern, inviting NATO allies including the U.S. to participate in exercises. Russia warns of serious consequences from NATO's militarization, denying threats to Greenland and criticizing NATO's actions as a pretext for expansion. The U.S. maintains a separate military presence at Pituffik Space Base.
