Denmark Prepared to Destroy Greenland RunwaysIn January 2026, Danish forces deployed to Greenland with plans to sabotage runways amid fears of a US invasion under Trump.
- Danish military personnel were deployed to Greenland early in 2026 to prepare for a potential American invasion.
- Plans included destroying key airstrips in Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq to block US military landings.
- This precaution arose due to President Trump's repeated intentions to acquire Greenland during his term.
- Denmark coordinated with European allies through joint exercises called Operation Arctic Endurance to strengthen regional support.
I don't want to use force. I won't use force. All the United States is asking for is a place called Greenland.— Said by Donald Trump at the World Economic Forum in Davos (January 21), during the Greenland dispute.
