US EditionDanish general says he is not losing sleep over US plans for Greenland
- The leader of Denmark’s Arctic military command stated in a June 2025 interview that he does not feel concerned about the possibility of the U.S. taking control of Greenland.
- This statement follows repeated U.S. proposals by President Trump to acquire Greenland and the first visit by U.S. General Gregory Guillot after transferring Greenland oversight to Northern Command.
