Denmark, Greenland expand military presence ahead of U.S. meeting
Denmark and NATO allies are deploying aircraft, vessels, and troops to Greenland to strengthen Arctic defense amid US interest and rising geopolitical tensions, Danish officials said.

- On Wednesday, talks between the U.S., Denmark and Greenland ended without a diplomatic breakthrough, while a Democratic-led U.S. delegation was expected in Copenhagen on Friday.

- Allied exercises and public red lines from European leaders aim to signal deterrence and political backing, as analysts quoted by CNBC highlight U.S. interest in emerging Arctic trade routes and minerals critical to defence.
