European Troops Arrive in Greenland; Giants, Harbaugh Working on Deal | Hot Off the Wire

Denmark and NATO allies increase military forces in Greenland to safeguard Arctic security amid rising Russian and Chinese interest, with troops from six European countries arriving.

  • On Thursday, troops from several European countries continued arriving in Greenland to boost security and signal to President Donald Trump that U.S. takeover is unnecessary amid a `fundamental disagreement` over the island's future.
  • On Wednesday, Denmark announced it would increase its military presence in Greenland before talks began and formed a working group to address differences with Greenlandic and Danish officials.
  • Several NATO partners sent symbolic rotations, including Germany deploying a reconnaissance team of 13 personnel on Thursday and France placing about 15 soldiers from the mountain infantry unit in Nuuk.
  • Juno Berthelsen said Greenlanders felt represented and that diplomatic dialogue had begun, while Danish officials called the working group `better than no working group` and Nuuk residents expressed mixed relief and anxiety.
  • Officials said the deployments aim to bolster Arctic security amid rising great‑power interest, framing the movements as a European effort against Russian and Chinese interest while the Russian embassy in Brussels condemned what it called `bellicose plans` on Thursday.
