Denmark planned to blow up Greenland runways if US invaded, reports say
AI Summary
In January, Denmark deployed soldiers to Greenland prepared to destroy airport runways due to fears that then-US President Donald Trump might attempt to invade the Arctic island. According to Danish broadcaster DR, the operation included bringing blood supplies in anticipation of potential conflict. The report, citing sources in the Danish government, military, and European allies, indicates that Denmark sought political support from European nations to counter Trump's interest in annexing Greenland. Trump had repeatedly expressed a desire to acquire Greenland, citing national security concerns and alleging Russian and Chinese activity there. The Danish defense ministry has declined to comment on the report.
