European nations are sending small numbers of troops to Greenland after President Donald Trump labeled anything less that having Greenland under U.S. control “unacceptable.”
Germany, Sweden, France, and Norway are sending troops, according to CNN.
Canada and France have indicated they will open consulates in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland.
“At Denmark’s request, I have decided that France will participate in the joint exercises organised by Denmark in Greenland, Operation Arctic Endurance,” French President Emmanuel Macron posted Wednesday on X.
“The first French military elements are already en route. Others will follow,” he posted.
