NATO, Denmark Agree To Bolster Defences In Arctic

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen agreed at a meeting on Tuesday that allies need to focus on strengthening defences in the Arctic, a source familiar to the talks told Reuters.

“They agreed that in this effort all allies have a role to play,” the source said after the meeting.

U.s. President Donald Trump has expressed interest in making Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, a part of the U.S. since his reelection in November.

He hasn’t ruled out using military or economic power to persuade Denmark to hand it over
