Danish military units are mandated to take immediate defensive action if Greenland is subjected to an armed attack, as per a 1952 royal decree. This statement follows U.S. President Trump's threats regarding military action for acquiring Greenland, which he has described as essential for U.S. national security.

A bipartisan coalition in Congress has introduced legislation to prevent funding for any invasion of NATO member states, including Greenland. Meanwhile, Denmark has reinforced its military presence in Greenland, and European NATO allies are sending troops to the island.

The U.S. maintains military installations in Greenland, including Pituffik Space Base, critical for missile defense and space surveillance. Recent polls indicate that 85% of Greenlanders oppose U.S. acquisition. Danish officials emphasize the right of self-determination for Greenland and reject any notion of U.S. military takeover.
