Oslo, January 14 (Xinhua) — An advance contingent of the Danish Armed Forces has arrived in Greenland, Danish broadcaster DR reported on Wednesday.
Denmark is reportedly currently moving military equipment and advance troops to the island to prepare for the possible arrival of larger formations of ground and other troops.
According to Danish media, Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen announced on Tuesday that the country's government intends to establish a "more sustainable and extensive military presence" for Denmark and its NATO allies in and around Greenland. He called this move "a clear response to the challenges facing the Arctic."
As the world's largest island, Greenland is a self-governing territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, with Copenhagen overseeing Greenland's defense and foreign policy. The island also hosts a US military base.
Since returning to office in 2025, US President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated his desire to "get" Greenland and has not ruled out the possibility of using force to achieve this goal. –0–
