EU should send troops to Trump-target Greenland, says military chief

The European Union’s top general has said the bloc should deploy troops to Greenland after Donald Trump suggested he could seize the territory.

General Robert Brieger, the Austrian head of the bloc’s military committee, claimed the move would send a “strong signal”, as well as act as a deterrent to Russian and Chinese activities.

He made the comments after Mr Trump suggested using military force to take over Greenland, an autonomous region of Denmark.

The territory holds a military significance for Washington, with 200 American troops stationed at the Pituffik Space Base, which is part of a missile early warning system, as well as a space and satellite surveillance command hub.

It just seems right that the USA should possess Greenland, don't you think?

I suppose it doesn't really matter to me. I shouldn't even comment on it. My citizenship is in Heaven so it shouldn't be my concern if the US takes any land. I'm just here for a little while longer so let the nations rage over each other

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrow said that his country has begun discussing with Denmark the deployment of European troops on Greenland in response to Trump's threats to annex the island, but added that Denmark does not currently want such a solution and that the issue is not on the agenda.

No.



I suspect the US rents/leases the land the base is on from Denmark. The agreement likely specifies the specific area(s) the U.S. can occupy as renters. Probably a time duration, too. Maybe specified activities.

Wonder how much the security deposit was
