Denmark's military is sending more troops to Greenland, according to local media reports on Monday.
The Danish Armed Forces confirmed the deployment to Danish television station TV 2, quoted from Anadolu (19/1)/
A large number of Danish combat troops are expected to arrive in Kangerlussuaq on Monday evening local time, described as a "substantial contribution."
The arrival will add to an ongoing buildup of Danish military personnel in Greenland.
According to the report, about 100 Danish soldiers have arrived in Nuuk, Greenland's capital, with the same number deployed to Kangerlussuaq.
The troops are scheduled to participate in the "Arctic Endurance 2026" military exercise, which Danish authorities say has been accelerated and intensified, following recent statements by US President Donald Trump.
Previously, President Trump said he wanted a "complete and total purchase" of the Danish territory, arguing that it was important for US and global security.
On Saturday, President Trump said he would impose an additional 10 percent tariff on Britain, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Finland on February 1, with the tariff increasing to 25 percent on June 1, due to their opposition to US control of Greenland.
Following the announcement, eight European countries issued a joint statement on Sunday, condemning the US threat and reaffirming their commitment to Arctic security.
