On Sunday, Bloomberg reported that a group of European countries led by Britain and Germany is discussing plans to enhance its military presence in Greenland to show U.S. President Donald Trump that the continent is serious about Arctic security. The agency, citing informed sources, added that Germany will propose forming a joint NATO mission to protect the Arctic region. Trump said on Friday that the United States needs to own Greenland to prevent Russia or China from occupying it in the future. He has repeatedly mentioned that Russian and Chinese ships are operating near Greenland, a claim rejected by Northern European countries.
