Denmark has deployed more troops to its autonomous territory of Greenland, a move that comes after US President Donald Trump hinted at taking control of the region. According to Danish media, a group of 58 soldiers, including Royal Danish Army Chief Peter Bøjstrup, has arrived in the western town of Qaqortoq, where approximately 60 troops were already stationed. These units are participating in multinational military exercises called Operation Arctic Endurance.
The deployment of Danish troops comes at a time when President Trump has refused to rule out the possibility of using military force in Greenland. Trump claims that the region’s rich mineral resources make it crucial to America’s security. However, Denmark has clarified that Greenland is not for sale, but has shown willingness to increase the presence of US troops in the area.
