French soldiers will join military exercises in Greenland organized by Denmark.
This was announced by President Emmanuel Macron.
“At Denmark’s request, I have decided that France will participate in the joint exercises organized by Denmark in Greenland, Operation Arctic Endurance,” the statement said.
According to Macron, the first French troops are already on their way, and other units will be sent soon.
Recall, Trump stated the strategic importance of Greenland for the security of the United States.
It was previously reported that the goal of annexing Greenland to the United States has moved from rhetoric to official policy as the White House has begun implementing an official plan to acquire the Arctic island from Denmark .
At the same time, the Prime Minister of Denmark appealed to Trump to stop statements about the possible seizure of Greenland . She emphasized that talk of annexation of Greenland is baseless.
As is known, against the backdrop of US President Donald Trump’s statements regarding the seizure of Greenland , the Danish authorities are sending military equipment and defense forces to the island .
