Nordics reject Trump's claim of Chinese and Russian ships around Greenland, FT reports
Nordic diplomats cite NATO intelligence and vessel tracking data to refute claims of Russian and Chinese naval activity near Greenland, contradicting U.S. President Trump's assertions.
- The Financial Times reported that Nordic diplomats rejected US President Donald Trump's claims that Russian and Chinese vessels were operating near Greenland.
- Trump's push for Greenland has alarmed its 57,000 inhabitants after he said on Friday the US must take ownership to block Russia or China.
- Vessel-Tracking platforms MarineTraffic and LSEG show no Chinese or Russian ship presence near Greenland, and one senior diplomat said 'There are no ships, no submarines'.
- Greenland's assembly said late on Friday it would bring forward a meeting to discuss its response to U.S. threats, while Reuters could not immediately verify the FT report and the White House and NATO did not respond.
- A senior diplomat told the FT 'It is simply not true that the Chinese and Russians are there', and Lars Lokke Rasmussen noted the president has not provided public evidence.
