Denmark Hid Troops in Greenland Over US Fears

Denmark sent troops to Greenland in secret. They disguised the mission as a NATO exercise called Arctic Endurance.

Soldiers carried explosives during the deployment. Denmark prepared to blow up Greenland's runways.

This was to stop US aircraft from landing. Denmark feared a possible US takeover of Greenland. These fears grew after the US acted to seize Venezuela's leader.

Klear Note Greenland is a Danish territory in the Arctic. The US has shown interest in controlling it for strategic reasons.
