A major shift in U.S. military strategy in the Arctic emerges as President Donald Trump reveals an agreement with Denmark to expand the American military footprint in Greenland, following repeated threats to seize the strategically vital territory from its NATO ally. The deal comes after weeks of escalating tensions, with Trump previously warning of a potential forced takeover to counter perceived security threats.
