Putin’s Arctic War Threat: A Trump-Russia Gambit?
Amid rising Arctic tensions, Vladimir Putin has announced plans to increase Russia’s military presence in the region, citing concerns over US ambitions regarding Greenland. Putin views the US’s interest in Greenland, historically rooted and currently manifested in Vice President Vance’s visit, as a serious threat. He emphasized that Russia will defend its interests, highlighting growing geopolitical competition and NATO’s increasing focus on the Arctic. This follows US claims of needing Greenland for national security and potential military action to gain control, provoking strong condemnation from Greenland and Denmark.
