**UK, Germany Discuss NATO Forces in Greenland to Calm US Threat**
The whole idea of needing military deployments in Greenland, just to potentially deter the United States, is frankly bizarre, yet here we are.

The primary goal seems to be to project a unified front and deter any aggressive actions.… Continue reading
Nordics reject Trump’s claim of Chinese and Russian ships around Greenland, FT reports.
