    Denmark is taking steps to bolster its military presence in the Arctic amid heightened tensions over Greenland, following repeated statements by U.S. President Donald Trump expressing interest in acquiring the autonomous Danish territory. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has embarked on a diplomatic tour across Europe, meeting with leaders including French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, to secure support for maintaining Greenland's status. The EU and NATO have adopted a strategy of silence on the issue, aiming to avoid escalating the situation with Trump. Denmark has announced a significant investment of 14.6 billion kroner ($2.05 billion) to enhance its surveillance capabilities in the Arctic, including the acquisition of new ships, drones, and increased satellite capacity. This move is part of a broader effort to assert sovereignty in the region and support NATO missions, amid concerns over the security situation in the Arctic due to interest from the U.S., Russia, and China.
