France Discusses Troop Deployment to Greenland Amid U.S. Annexation Threats.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot revealed that France has discussed with Denmark the possibility of deploying troops to Greenland in response to threats by U.S. President Donald Trump to annex the Danish territory.

Barrot clarified that such action is not Denmark’s preference but assured, “If Denmark calls for help, France will be there.”

The European Union has expressed strong support for Denmark, with several member states considering troop deployments to Greenland as a show of solidarity.

Trump’s renewed interest in acquiring the Arctic island has raised tensions, prompting Denmark to bolster its Arctic defenses with a $2 billion investment.

Greenland’s leadership has firmly rejected any U.S. annexation attempts, emphasizing aspirations for independence while maintaining its ties with Denmark.

The situation underscores growing geopolitical competition in the Arctic and Europe’s resolve to defend its sovereignty.
