Danish Military Authorized to Defend Greenland Against U.S. Threats Amid Tensions Over Territory Acquisition
DEFENSE
The Danish military has been authorized to defend Greenland against potential U.S. threats following President Trump's remarks about acquiring the territory for national security. In response, Denmark has increased its military presence in Greenland, while a bipartisan U.S. coalition introduced legislation to block funding for any invasion of NATO member states. Recent polls show 85% of Greenlanders oppose U.S. acquisition, with Danish officials reaffirming the island's right to self-determination.
