The Danish prime minister arrived in Greenland on Friday for talks on the island’s future after President Donald Trump seemingly deescalated his threats to take over the Arctic territory.
Trump's comments that NATO troops stayed off the front line in Afghanistan were "deeply disappointing", a British minister said on Friday, noting that many European soldiers had died supporting American-led operations.
NATO Secretary Mark Rutte said on Thursday he and U.S. President Trump had discussed in Davos how the transatlantic alliance should best defend the Arctic against Russia and China.
Trump said on Thursday he had secured total and permanent U.S. access to Greenland in a deal with NATO, whose head said allies would have to step up their commitment to Arctic security to ward off threats from Russia and China.
