Denmark to pump $2bn into Arctic security as Trump eyes Greenland

Summary

Denmark will invest $2.05 billion to strengthen Arctic security amid Trump’s push for control over Greenland.

The strategic territory has gained importance due to melting ice, opening new shipping routes and exposing security vulnerabilities.

Denmark’s plan includes new ships, long-range drones, and satellite capacity to bolster its limited military presence.

Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is meeting European leaders to reinforce unity.

The move follows Trump’s insistence that Greenland is vital to U.S. security, citing its key role in missile defense operations.
