- Denmark prepared for a potential U.S. attack on Greenland in January by deploying troops, explosives, and medical supplies to the island, according to a report.
- Danish soldiers intended to prevent U.S. military aircraft from landing by blowing up runways in Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq if Donald Trump attempted a takeover, Danish broadcaster DR reported.
- The preparations were prompted by Trump's repeated threats and fixation on seizing Greenland, which caused “sleepless nights” for Danish officials.
- Greenland is considered strategically important due to its location between Russia, Europe, and North America, its potential control over Arctic shipping, and its rich natural resources.
- Officials cited U.S. actions in Venezuela as a reason to take Trump's threats seriously, with France offering military support to Denmark to avoid escalation.
