The Nordic nation announced Tuesday that it will bolster Greenland’s defenses with a $1.5 billion in new resources, including two elite sled dog teams, days after President-elect Donald Trump signaled renewed interest in purchasing the Arctic island.
“It is ironic that it coincides with the announcement from the United States,” Danish Minister of Defense Troels Lund Poulsen told Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten about the new defense package, dismissing that it had anything to do with Trump’s Sunday Truth Social post.
“For many years we have not invested enough in the Arctic, now we are planning a stronger presence,” he added.
Poulsen noted that the massive defense package would fund the purchase of two new patrol boats, two new long-range drones and allow two additional sled dog teams to be deployed to the barren, icy island.
