Tensions rose in the Arctic as the United States and Russia traded sharp warnings over Greenland, raising fears of a broader geopolitical showdown. President Donald Trump has doubled down on his claim that the U.S. needs Greenland for “national security,” openly citing Russian and Chinese activity in the region and refusing to rule out military options. Moscow responded by reaffirming Greenland’s legal status as part of Denmark, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov calling the situation “extraordinary” and hinting at international law concerns. As NATO allies push back diplomatically, European troops have begun deploying to Greenland, triggering alarm in Russia and intensifying the Arctic standoff.
