US EditionEuropean nations to send additional troops to Greenland as US annexation threats escalate
European NATO countries, including France and Germany, are deploying troops to Greenland to strengthen Arctic security amid U.S. sovereignty disputes, with Denmark planning a larger NATO presence.
- This past week, several NATO countries are deploying small numbers of military personnel to Greenland to join Danish exercises, with France, Germany, Sweden and Norway confirming troop movements to the island.
- After talks on Wednesday, Danish and Greenlandic officials met Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, revealing a "fundamental disagreement" and forming a high-level working group for the coming weeks.
- Several officers from the Swedish Armed Forces are arriving today, while about 15 French soldiers are already in Nuuk and Germany will send a 13-strong reconnaissance team Thursday; Norway is sending two defence personnel.
- Denmark warned that an attack on Greenland would all but end NATO, while NATO deferred exercise coordination questions to Danish authorities amid a significant show of solidarity.
- European capitals have raised defense spending by 50% and committed at the Hague Summit 2025 to reach 5% of GDP in coming years, but experts stress Europe still lacks a multilateral command-and-control system and autonomous ISR to reduce U.S. dependence.
