Denmark has announced plans to enhance Greenland's defence capabilities following United States's (US) President-elect Donald Trump's controversial comments about purchasing the Arctic territory. In response, the Danish government revealed a significant investment in upgrading Greenland's security, news agency ANI reported.
Danish Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen stated Denmark would invest a "double-digit" billion amount in Danish kroner to strengthen its defence systems, though he did not specify the exact figure. The investment could range between 1.34 billion Euros and 13.27 billion Euros, according to a news media house.
