Denmark is increasing military spending in the North Atlantic amid President Donald Trump’s bid to have Greenland sold or ceded to the United States.

Frederiksen was meeting on Tuesday with European leaders including German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

PARIS — France has discussed with Denmark sending troops to Greenland in response to United States President Donald Trump's repeated threats to annex the Danish territory, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said.

Europe is uniting in response to US President Donald Trump’s efforts to appropriate Greenland. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen sought to drum up support from German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin and French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris before a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

Frederiksen’s efforts have not been limited to diplomatic dashes. Denmark has announced a $2bn Arctic security plan, including new warships, drones and satellite capabilities to bolster its presence in Greenland, which is a self-governing territory within the Kingdom of Denmark.
