Copenhagen is boosting its military spending and holding talks with European allies as Trump ramps up his expansionist rhetoric.
ADVERTISEMENTDenmark will inject 14.6 billion kroner (€1.95 billion) into boosting its military presence in the Arctic and North Atlantic region, the country’s Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said on Monday, as US President Donald Trump has repeatedly demanded to buy or otherwise take control of Greenland.“There are serious challenges regarding security and defence in the Arctic and North Atlantic,” Denmark’s Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said in a statement, adding that the package would include three new Arctic naval vessels, two additional long-range surveillance drones and satellite capacity.Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is set to meet NATO allies German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron and the alliance’s Secretary-General Mark Rutte in an effort to secure “unity” among European allies over Greenland, a semi-autonomous Danish territory.”Europe is facing a serious situation, with war on the continent and shifts in the geopolitical reality,” Frederiksen said on Monday. “In moments like this, unity is crucial.”The EU has said it is “not negotiating” with the US when it comes to Denmark’s sovereignty, and that it stands behind the government’s position.Trump has repeatedly said he believes the US will gain control of the island, despite Fredericksen insisting the territory was not for sale in a fiery phone call with the US president last week. News of the phone call between Frederiksen and Trump has heightened fears in Denmark that Trump is increasingly serious about his threats and demands. Greenland is home to a large US space facility and is also located on the shortest route from North America to Europe. Trump first floated the idea of taking control of the territory during his first term, insisting US control of the island was a “necessity” for international security. He has ramped up efforts to claim control over Greenland since his return to the White House, refusing to rule out using military force to take control of the territory. The island’s rich natural resources have also caught the attention of countries such as Russia and China, who have increased their Arctic mining activities and military presence.Both Frederiksen and Greenland’s prime minister, Múte Egede, have said the future of the territory should be determined by its citizens. In January, Egede pushed for independence from Denmark, which could be achieved through a successful referendum.
