How many European NATO countries deployed troops to Greenland in January 2026?

Question

Accepted Answer

At least seven European NATO countries deployed military personnel to Greenland: Germany (13 reconnaissance troops), France (15 elite mountain infantry), Sweden, Norway (2 personnel), the Netherlands, Finland, and the UK. They participated in "Operation Arctic Endurance," a Danish-led exercise launched on Jan. 15, 2026. The deployments happened immediately after tense White House talks where Danish and Greenlandic foreign ministers said Trump remained "set on conquering" Greenland. This marked the first time multiple NATO allies deployed to defend another member's territory against threats from the United States itself.
