U.S. President Trump repeated claims that the United States needs Greenland for national security, as Denmark and allies announced an increased military deployment and exercises in and around the Arctic territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking during a signing ceremony<\/a> at the White House on Wednesday, Trump said the situation involving Greenland was under review and that he expected to be briefed shortly after his remarks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe need Greenland for national security, so we are going to see what happens,\u201d Trump said, adding that the United States maintains \u201ca very good relation with Denmark.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf we don\u2019t go in, Russia is going to go in, and China is going to go in,\u201d Trump said, adding, \u201cThere is nothing that Denmark can do about it.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump also said he had spoken with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and that Rutte \u201creally wants to see something happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The comments come as Denmark and its allies announced an expanded military presence in Greenland. French President Emmanuel Macron said France would participate in joint exercises organized by Denmark under Operation Arctic Endurance, adding that the first French military elements were already en route, with additional forces to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Danish Ministry of Defence said Danish Armed Forces are deploying units and capabilities beginning Wednesday as part of increased activity in the Arctic and North Atlantic. The ministry said the presence will include aircraft, vessels, and soldiers, including forces from NATO allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Danish Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said security in the Arctic is of \u201ccrucial importance\u201d to Denmark and its allies, adding that the expanded activity in 2026 is a continuation of efforts launched last year to strengthen the ability to operate in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
