All eyes on Greenland - Arctic command ramps up patrols in Nuuk amid Trump's tariff threats on EU allies

"Military personnel from the Joint Arctic Command have stepped up patrols and surveillance across Greenland’s capital following repeated statements by US President Donald Trump suggesting a potential takeover of the autonomous Danish territory. Footage shows uniformed officers walking through the command headquarters, vehicles mobilising, and ships sailing near the coast, as authorities monitor for any developments. The heightened alert comes amid a sharp escalation in US-Europe tensions. Trump recently announced a 10% tariff on goods from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland, due to take effect on February 1, with the potential to rise to 25% unless an agreement is reached. Trump has repeatedly described Greenland as 'critical to US security'. Earlier this week, he declared that Greenland will belong to the US 'one way or the other', warning that failure to act could allow Russia or China to assert influence. Denmark, a founding member of NATO, has consistently rejected any proposal to sell the territory, reaffirming its sovereignty over the island. "
