  • NATO should launch an operation in the Arctic to address U.S. security concerns, according to Belgian Defence Minister Theo Francken.
  • U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that the U.S. needs to own Greenland to prevent Russia or China from occupying it in the future.
  • Denmark and Greenland's leaders have said that the Arctic island could not be annexed and international security did not justify such a move, while the U.S. already has a military presence on the island under a 1951 agreement.
