Denmark: No Chinese or Russian Ships Near Greenland

The head of Denmark's Joint Arctic Command (JAC) assured that no Chinese or Russian ships are near Greenland, despite claims made by Donald Trump. Brigadier General Søren Andersen stated that Chinese and Russian vessels are present in the Arctic Ocean, but not close to Greenland. Denmark has bolstered Greenland's defense with a package of measures worth approximately 6.5 billion euros, following requests for increased protection. Andersen invited the US to participate in military exercises planned to take place on the island this year.
