Khaberni - Bloomberg revealed on Sunday that the UK and Germany are discussing deploying NATO forces in Greenland to contain the American threat.
Bloomberg stated, "A group of European countries, led by the UK and Germany, are discussing plans to strengthen their military presence in Greenland to demonstrate Europe's seriousness in protecting the Arctic, and as an attempt to curb the American threats to take control of this self-governing Danish territory."
According to sources familiar with the plans, Germany will propose a joint NATO mission to protect the Arctic. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has separately urged allies to bolster their security presence in the far north and has recently reached out to leaders including French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to discuss this issue.
Supreme Commander of NATO Forces in Europe, American General Alexosos Grinkevitch, confirmed on Sunday that NATO member states are conducting "constructive discussions" regarding Greenland, which U.S. President Donald Trump seeks to annex.
In response to a question about Donald Trump's administration's desire to take over the polar island, Grinkevitch stated that within the North Atlantic Council, "discussions continue in Brussels, and from what I have heard, they are constructive dialogues."
General Grinkevitch noted during his participation in a conference dedicated to defense matters in Sweden, "The most important thing: members of the alliance have cooperated for many years, talking together and working together to find solutions to these thorny issues."
Grinkevitch declined to comment on the political dimensions of the recent discussions regarding Greenland.
He pointed out that despite there being "no direct threat" to the alliance, the Arctic has become increasingly important strategically.
"As the ice recedes and access expands there, we definitely see Russia and China working together," he added, noting that "the strategic significance of the Arctic is continually increasing."
Previously, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned that any American attack on one of the alliance members would mean "the end of everything," including the security system established since the end of World War II.
Trump had emphasized that the USA would achieve its goal regarding Greenland "with softness or with force."
