Denmark's military operations in the Arctic and North Atlantic are financed through the acquisition of three new ships for the Arctic fleet, two long-range unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and satellites to enhance surveillance capabilities.
Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen stated during a press conference that the nation is encountering “significant security policy challenges.” Danish military intelligence evaluates that the danger level in the Arctic and North Atlantic has risen. “We consequently must greatly enhance the presence of military forces in the areas,” he stated.
He stated that the agreement was achieved through close collaboration with the authorities of Greenland and the Faroe Islands. The document will establish the groundwork for subsequent actions, which are intended to be carried out in the first half of 2025, stated the head of the Ministry of Defense of the Kingdom.
The declaration regarding enhancing Denmark's military presence in the Arctic emerged amid US President Donald Trump's remarks about his desire to purchase Greenland. In response to the American president's statements, Denmark revealed intentions to markedly boost defense expenditure on the island.
