Summary
Denmark will invest $2.05 billion to strengthen Arctic security amid Trump’s push for control over Greenland.
The strategic territory has gained importance due to melting ice, opening new shipping routes and exposing security vulnerabilities.
Denmark’s plan includes new ships, long-range drones, and satellite capacity to bolster its limited military presence.
Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is meeting European leaders to reinforce unity.
The move follows Trump’s insistence that Greenland is vital to U.S. security, citing its key role in missile defense operations.
Canada, that actually has land really close to Greenland: haha let’s play a silly war of flags and alcohol over an island no one cares about, it’ll be fun.
The US, that has absolutely nothing to do there: all your base are belong to us
Canada technically shares a land border with Denmark: Hans Island
It’s almost like Canada is civilized and generally not hostile towards neighboring countries.
It was kind of funny with that dispute, it’s almost sad it got resolved.
Greetings from Denmark. 😀

Nothing to do there implies there are no resources. Which is untrue, and the reason why the US wants it. “National security” just sounds better to a random dude.
Somebody set us up the Trump
*set up us
Omg I’ve had it wrong all these years
It’s not just you, it’s a very common mistake. Like “arrow to the knee” instead of “arrow in the knee.”
