Troops from European countries, including France and Germany, are arriving in Greenland to boost security. This comes as the White House on Thursday described plans for more talks with officials from Denmark and Greenland as “technical talks on the acquisition agreement” for the U.S. to acquire Greenland. French President Emmanuel Macron announced the deployment of French troops, with Germany sending a reconnaissance team. Denmark is also increasing its military presence. The talks focused on U.S. intentions to take over Greenland for its mineral resources amid rising Russian and Chinese interest. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen expressed concerns over Trump's intentions. Greenlanders remain uncertain about the future.
