Overview
- A multinational mission is underway in Greenland, with roughly 15 French personnel already in Nuuk and a 13‑member Bundeswehr team due Friday after staging in Karup, alongside participants from Sweden and Norway.
- Denmark invited partners to assess potential contributions such as maritime surveillance and to coordinate exercises, while Copenhagen also moved to increase its own military presence on the island.
- A high‑level meeting in Washington ended with “fundamental disagreements” and only a pledge to form a senior working group expected to meet within weeks.
- Danish and Greenlandic leaders rejected any U.S. takeover as a breach of sovereignty and international law, stressing that the territory’s status is not negotiable.
- The White House said European deployments will not alter the president’s goal as he continues to argue Greenland should be under U.S. control, while a bipartisan U.S. congressional delegation meets Danish and Greenlandic officials in Copenhagen on Friday.
