Just another Tr*mp stunt blown out of proportion.

Denmark's answer to the previous threats from the US is right now a military exercise at Greenland, under the command of Danish Arctic Command, which is actually responsible for military operations in and around Greenland - with Soldiers from a Danish infantry battalion supported by the Royal Danish Navy and the Royal Danish Air Force.

In these days the Danish presence at Greenland outnumbers all of the U.S. Air Force and Space Force personnel permanently stationed at the U.S.-run Pituffik Space Base.
