Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen announced that Denmark plans to invest at least $1.5 billion in Greenland to enhance its military presence in the Arctic.
Poulsen acknowledged that Denmark had 'not invested enough' in the Arctic for years, as nations like China and Russia race for region resources amid climate change.
Army Maj. Steen Kjaergaard noted Trump's renewed focus on Greenland's air and maritime control may be pushing Denmark to strengthen its Arctic military capabilities.
Kjaergaard remarked on Trump's strategic move, suggesting he prompts Denmark to act on Arctic defense without entangling in a complicated, 'un-American welfare system.'
