Trump says he is sending a hospital ship to Greenland
Trump announced sending the USNS Mercy hospital ship to Greenland to treat sick residents despite Danish and Greenlandic officials rejecting the aid, highlighting geopolitical tensions over the Arctic.
- On Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that he would send a hospital ship to Greenland to treat many sick people and said the ship was on the way.
- Trump's long-standing interest in Greenland stems from its strategic importance, and he appointed Jeff Landry, his special envoy, in December after striking a 'framework' deal with NATO's Mark Rutte last month.
- An apparent AI image in the post depicted the USNS Mercy, a 272-metre hospital ship, and tracking data showed it docked in Mobile, Alabama earlier this month.
- Denmark's Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said Greenland does not need outside medical aid, and the Pentagon, U.S. Department of Defense, and U.S. Navy were contacted for clarification, but received no immediate response.
- Given Greenland's strategic and mineral importance, NATO and European allies have increased Arctic defenses amid threats from Russia and China, and the UK plans carrier deployment soon.
