OSLO, March 20 (Xinhua) — Denmark prepared contingency measures in January against possible US military action against Greenland, including sending blood supplies and explosives to the Arctic island, Danish broadcaster DR reported on Thursday, citing anonymous sources in Denmark and other European countries.
According to the report, Danish troops stationed in Greenland delivered explosives intended to destroy the runways in Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq to prevent American military aircraft from landing. Danish blood banks were also prepared in case of possible hostilities.
DR reported that the information was based on interviews conducted last year with 12 sources from the Danish government, military and intelligence services, as well as high-ranking officials in France and Germany.
According to DR, Copenhagen sought political support from European allies after US President Donald Trump renewed pressure to gain control of Greenland. The previously planned troop deployment was accelerated following the US attack on Venezuela on January 3, fueling concerns in Denmark that Washington might resort to force in other regions.
The Danish and Greenlandic authorities declined to comment on this information, DR. reported.
