The huge package is announced after the president-elect said US ownership of Greenland was a "necessity".

Summary

Denmark announced a $1.5 billion defense investment for Greenland, including new ships, drones, and Arctic Command upgrades, following renewed comments by Donald Trump about the U.S. acquiring the territory.

Trump called Greenland’s control a “necessity” for U.S. national security, but Greenland’s Prime Minister reaffirmed the territory is “not for sale.”

Analysts note the defense plan was long in development but acknowledge Trump’s comments may have pressured Denmark to act.

Greenland’s strategic location and resources remain a focal point amid concerns about China and Russia’s Arctic ambitions.
