NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte announced ongoing discussions among member countries, particularly the U.K. and Germany, regarding a potential military presence in Greenland to bolster Arctic security amid rising geopolitical tensions. This initiative follows a lack of an official Arctic policy within NATO and is driven by concerns over Russian and Chinese activities in the region, particularly after the invasion of Ukraine.

The Pentagon has also shifted Greenland's oversight to U.S. Northern Command, while a new UK-Norway defense pact aims to enhance military cooperation in the Arctic.
