Copenhagen boosting defence spending and talking with allies as it resists US demand for the strategic island.

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.

    It’s almost like Canada is civilized and generally not hostile towards neighboring countries.
    It was kind of funny with that dispute, it’s almost sad it got resolved.
    Greetings from Denmark. 😀
