Denmark, in defense of Greenland - 2 billion euros to increase military presence in the Arctic
Denmark will increase its military presence in the Arctic region, investing around 2 billion euros to defend the territory. The decision comes after tensions with US President Donald Trump over control of Greenland.
Denmark will invest 1.95 billion euros to increase its military presence in the Arctic and North Atlantic region, the country's Defense Ministry announced. The move comes amid recent tensions over Greenland, as US President Donald Trump has repeatedly sought to take control of the territory.
The ministry highlighted "serious challenges related to security and defense in the Arctic and the North Atlantic," adding that the package will include three new ships, two additional long-range surveillance drones and satellite capacity to improve surveillance.
The European Union has said it "does not negotiate" with the US when it comes to Denmark's sovereignty, expressing support for the Danish government. Trump has repeatedly said the United States will gain control of the island, despite the Danish government insisting the territory is not for sale.
Greenland has an important strategic position, as it is located on the shortest route from North America to Europe.
The US president first floated the idea of taking control of the territory during his first term, insisting it was a "necessity" for international security. He has stepped up efforts to control Greenland since returning to the White House, refusing to rule out the use of military force to achieve the goal.
The island's rich natural resources have also attracted the attention of countries such as Russia and China, which have increased their mining activities and military presence in the Arctic.
