On Wednesday, I met with Peter Boysen, the chief of the Danish army, and asked him how his country plans to strengthen Greenland’s defenses.
“We need, of course, to have units that are able to deploy to Greenland in times of crisis to show presence.”.
The foreign ministers of Denmark and Greenland met today at the White House with Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Hours earlier, the Danish defense ministry announced a stepped-up military presence in Greenland, including aircraft, ships, and soldiers.
Sweden’s prime minister said soldiers from his country were also arriving on Greenland today, and German personnel were expected to begin arriving tomorrow.
He has been head of the army since 2024, helping lead a military buildup that stretches eastward to the Baltic Sea island of Bornholm and westward to Greenland.
“So again,” he said, “I think some of our key allies would want to join us, including the Americans, on Greenland.”. »
