According to a report by the Danish Broadcasting Corporation on the 23rd, more Danish soldiers recently landed on the autonomous territory of Greenland "with live ammunition" and received orders that "in the worst-case scenario, if the United States attacks Greenland, Denmark will immediately engage in combat.".
The report also pointed out that if the United States launched an attack, there would be widespread political willingness across Denmark to retaliate.
Previously, it was reported that Denmark was formulating a plan to dispatch up to 1,000 combat soldiers to Greenland in 2026. The navy and air force may also be involved.
In recent days, US President Trump has once again raised his long-held idea of purchasing Greenland, citing the island's vital importance to US national security. However, both the Greenland Home Rule Government and Denmark have firmly rejected Trump's proposal, emphasizing that the future of the island should be determined by its own people and accusing the US of bullying tactics.
On the 17th, Trump announced on social media that he would impose a series of escalating tariffs on European allies who prevent the United States from acquiring Greenland, until the United States is allowed to purchase Greenland.
On the 20th, Trump stated that the goal of controlling Greenland "will never change" and refused to rule out the possibility of seizing Greenland by force. The next day, he changed his tune, saying that he would not seize Greenland by force, and simultaneously announced the cancellation of the threat to impose tariffs on European countries, which was originally scheduled for February 1st.
On the 22nd, Trump changed his tune again, stating that the US would not pay anything to acquire Greenland and that the US would obtain "full access rights" to the region, implying that the US could "deploy whatever we need" on Greenland.
He also added that the only cost for the United States would be the deployment of the "Golden Dome" missile defense system in Greenland.
According to a report by CCTV News, on January 22nd local time, Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen stated that Denmark is participating in the negotiations for the Greenland Framework Agreement, and the negotiations are being conducted in close cooperation with Greenland.
She indicated that Denmark has already begun collaborating with the US government and is clarifying how this work will proceed. Denmark has always aspired to reach an agreement with the US within the bounds of diplomatic norms.
