A growing concern is brewing in Greenland as German, French, Norwegian, and Swedish troops, along with other NATO member countries, begin to arrive in the region. US President Donald Trump, citing the threat of possible Chinese and Russian dominance, has threatened to take control of Greenland. The recent meeting between US, Danish, and Greenland officials ended without any resolution, prompting Denmark to deploy additional troops to the region. European nations have also begun sending their military units to bolster Greenland’s security.
Greenland residents are deeply concerned and disturbed by Trump’s assertion of US control over the island. France has sent 15 troops, while Germany has dispatched 13, with Norway and Sweden also participating in the mission. The two-day operation, dubbed the Recognition-of-the-Territory Exercise, involves raising the European Union flag in Greenland to signify European sovereignty and presence. This move comes at a time when Denmark and Greenland foreign ministers failed to convince Trump to abandon his plans for control.
Trump has reiterated that the US must have control over Greenland at all costs, warning that Russia and China will otherwise gain a foothold in the region. Denmark has also announced plans to increase its military presence in Greenland. European and Danish officials acknowledge that these measures are not meant to thwart US military action, but rather to exert political pressure and symbolic resistance. The US administration has threatened to impose tariffs on countries that do not support US control over Greenland, citing the island’s importance to American national security.
The US has also warned Canada about its decision to allow Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) to enter the country, stating that Canada will ultimately regret this decision.
