US EditionAnand wants NATO's new Arctic Sentry initiative to become permanent
Canada urges NATO to permanently integrate Arctic Sentry to enhance coordination amid rising Russian and Chinese influence, with exercises from Denmark and Norway included.
- During her keynote in Toronto, Anita Anand said she wants to see NATO's Arctic Sentry, launched Wednesday, made permanent and stated, `We would like to see that initiative be permanent`.
- Aimed at shoring up regional security, Arctic Sentry follows U.S. President Donald Trump's escalated threats over Greenland and combines Denmark's Arctic Endurance with Norway's Cold Response.
- As an umbrella, Arctic Sentry will coordinate allied activity and is headquartered in Norfolk, Va., with plans drawn up with input from Canada, Rutte said.
- Canada last week opened a consulate in Nuuk, Greenland, as a show of solidarity with Denmark, but Anand did not specify what military resources Canada would contribute, leaving uncertainty about commitments.
- Military experts warn Russian ballistic and hypersonic missiles would likely travel over Greenland toward North America, while NATO's supreme commander said Sentry `underscores the alliance's commitment` and will address defence gaps.

European allies announced Arctic Sentry, a new mission to strengthen Arctic security amid Russian and Chinese activity. While analysts see it largely as a rebranding of existing drills, NATO hopes it will reassure Donald Trump and let Europe take a bigger role in defence.

As expected, NATO has launched a separate mission for the Arctic: Arctic Sentry, based on the Baltic Sentry and Eastern Sentry missions, is designed to improve security in the far north – and is obviously also a response to US President Donald Trump's claim that there are security gaps in the region in the face of an alleged Russian and Chinese threat to Greenland.
