Minister of Defense Troels Lund Poulsen (V) cannot even imagine that the United States could attack Greenland.
He said this on Wednesday at a doorstep meeting at the Ministry of Defense.
- I consider it completely hypothetical that the American side would launch an attack against Greenland, says Troels Lund Poulsen.
The press conference is being held shortly after Sweden's Prime Minister, Ulf Kristersson, wrote in a post on X that several officers from the Swedish defense will arrive in Greenland on Wednesday.
According to the Prime Minister, Sweden sent the officers at the request of Denmark.
Together, the foreign forces are part of the Danish exercise Operation Arctic Endurance, wrote Ulf Kristersson.
The Ministry of Defense and Naalakkersuisut, the Greenlandic government, announced earlier Wednesday that from today, Wednesday, there will be an increased military presence in and around Greenland in close cooperation with NATO allies.
The purpose is to strengthen the alliance's footprint in the Arctic for the benefit of both European and transatlantic security and to train the ability to operate in Arctic conditions.
