US EditionStarmer could send troops to Greenland to ease Trump’s security fears: Report

- Downing Street is in talks with European allies to deploy a military force to Greenland to guard the Arctic, and Nato members in Brussels on Thursday instructed SHAPE to examine options.

- Military chiefs are drawing up plans that include exercises and redirected defence spending, while British Armed Forces prepare through last year's Exercise Joint Viking and this year's Exercise Cold Response with 1,500 Royal Marines.
- European countries hope stationing forces will pull Mr Trump back from plans to seize Greenland, while the EU is reportedly preparing sanctions on US firms and discussed evicting US military bases in Europe.
- Analysts and officials warned this could force greater Euro-Atlantic burden sharing as Air Marshal Edward Stringer said UK military formations are unsustainable, deepening Nato's crisis sparked by Mr Trump's Greenland pursuit.
