The U.S. embassy in Copenhagen announced that there are no plans to send more military forces to Greenland. This news comes after President Donald Trump expressed interest in buying the Arctic island. Trump believes that controlling Greenland is very important for the U.S. and hinted that he might take actions like tariffs against Denmark to make this happen.
However, a spokesperson stressed that the U.S. military will not increase its presence there. They stated that the U.S. will continue to collaborate closely with both Denmark and Greenland to make sure proposals fit everyone’s security needs.
Greenland is important for the U.S. military because it helps them keep an eye on missile threats. The fastest route for U.S. military travel between Europe and North America goes through Greenland. The U.S. has a permanent air base called Pituffik in the northwest part of the island.
