Threat to Greenland: Russia, Not Trump
Interest in Greenland's mineral potential has grown since Trump suggested buying the territory, home to many critical minerals.
Private Mads Hansen, one of three Danish soldiers stationed at Mestersvig, a former mining outpost in eastern Greenland, shared his experience.
"You get used to it,"he said, showing off the base's snowplows, with a radio and handgun hanging from his belt.
Hansen's role includes maintaining the base and training sled dogs. The station is set to play a bigger role in supporting an expanded military presence as part of a broader defensive build-up directed at Russia.
The Danish army is increasing its presence in Greenland due to the threat from Russia, rather than Trump's suggestion to buy the territory.
Author's summary: Russia's threat prompts Denmark to increase military presence in Greenland.
