European Nations and Canada Increase Military Presence in Greenland Amid US Interest

Amid US President Donald Trump's expressed interest in Greenland and related tariff threats, several European countries, including Denmark, Germany, France, Sweden, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, and the UK, have increased their military presence on the Arctic island. Denmark is deploying additional troops, while Germany and others have sent reconnaissance and preparatory teams. Greenland's government has rejected external pressure, emphasizing respect for its status within the Kingdom of Denmark. Canada is also considering sending troops in solidarity with European allies. The situation reflects rising geopolitical tensions over Greenland's strategic importance in the Arctic.
