US EditionDanish veterans stage protest outside US Embassy
Over 1,000 Danish veterans protested Trump's NATO comments and Greenland claims, highlighting Denmark's high per capita loss of 44 soldiers in Afghanistan, organizers said.
- Last week, President Donald Trump walked back months of threats to seize Greenland, saying at Davos he would not use force and announced `the framework of a future deal` with NATO leaders including Mark Rutte.
- Seventeen former bases in Greenland highlight Cold War strategic value; all abandoned in the 1980s except for the downsized Thule Space Base due to decreased threat and high resupply costs.
- A framework proposes granting the U.S. sovereignty over Greenland bases similar to Britain’s in Cyprus, allowing more bases with Denmark’s veto, and giving the U.S. first refusal on resource projects.
- As negotiations continue, Frederiksen deployed a small contingent of troops from Britain, Germany, and France to Greenland, boosting support ahead of later this year’s elections while insisting sovereignty is a red line.
- Beyond immediate talks, the dispute threatens NATO cohesion, Greenlanders’ future, and Denmark’s national identity, while impacting Arctic Council security forums.
