Denmark secretly prepared to blow up Greenland's runways to stop U.S. aircraft: report
AI Summary
A report by Danish broadcaster DR revealed that Denmark secretly prepared to sabotage Greenland's runways in January amid fears of a potential U.S. invasion. The contingency plan, outlined in a military operations order, involved deploying troops with explosives to prevent U.S. aircraft from landing. These preparations stemmed from escalating tensions over President Trump's interest in acquiring Greenland for national security reasons, which was repeatedly rejected by Greenland and Denmark. While officially part of a NATO exercise called Arctic Endurance, the deployment was reportedly operational and included medical supplies. Despite these measures, Denmark sought to avoid escalating the situation with the U.S., and Trump later downplayed the possibility of using force to acquire Greenland.
