Amidst US President Donald Trump’s statements regarding the seizure of Greenland, the Danish authorities are sending military equipment and defense forces to the island.
This was reported by the publication DR.
A forward command has already been sent to Greenland to ensure logistics readiness for the potential reception of the main forces.
According to the publication, among them are units that are supposed to strengthen the armed presence on the island.
In addition, a plane landed at Greenland’s Nuuk airport on Monday evening. Its passengers are likely connected to Denmark’s efforts to strengthen defenses on the island.
“We are now moving forward with the whole issue of a more permanent presence in Greenland by the Danish Defence Forces, but also with the participation of other countries. Just as we saw in 2025, when other NATO countries participated in exercises and training in Greenland, we will see this in 2026,” said Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen.
According to him, this is a “clear response” to the challenges facing the Arctic.
As a reminder, US President Donald Trump has reaffirmed the strategic importance of Greenland to the security of the United States. According to him, the island plays a key role in countering the growing activity of Russia and China in the Arctic.
Meanwhile, the administration of US President Donald Trump is preparing a draft agreement on Greenland , which it plans to propose to the island’s authorities. Washington is discussing the possibility of concluding a Free Association Agreement with Greenland and the United States.
Meanwhile, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has called on US President Donald Trump to stop making statements about a possible annexation of Greenland , stressing that talk of annexing Greenland is baseless.
