Nato launches Arctic Sentry mission in bid to ease Greenland tensions with Trump
AI Summary
NATO has launched "Arctic Sentry," a mission to bolster its military presence in the Arctic and ease tensions within the alliance following former US President Trump's interest in acquiring Greenland. The mission, announced on Wednesday, will coordinate military activities of NATO allies in the region, including exercises like Denmark's Arctic Endurance in Greenland. While NATO did not specify troop numbers or assets, Secretary General Mark Rutte stated it would consolidate efforts by various members under a single command, addressing growing Russian and Chinese interest in the Arctic. Germany will participate in the initial phase with Eurofighters and air-to-air refueling capabilities. The mission aims to identify and address gaps in NATO's Arctic capabilities as new sea lanes open due to melting ice.
