Denmark deployed a large number of troops to Greenland to defend against the United States between 9:17 p.m. and 9:46 p.m. UTC on January 19, 2026, as shown in a video shared on X by @RapidReport2025. The deployment comes amid President Donald Trump's ambitions to acquire Greenland, according to the X post. This follows the Danish Army Chief landing with combat troops in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, earlier that evening, per a TV2 report shared previously. NATO officials are withholding intelligence from the US over Trump's Greenland ambitions, forcing American and European staff to work in strained circumstances, an iNews report stated in an X post by @Richard_AHolmes shared during the same 29-minute window. An alliance official said the US, once a country 'we all looked up to and appreciate,' has now 'stabbed us in the back.' Sources warned the US-UK security relationship is at its lowest ebb since the 1950s, risking European security. These developments build on NORAD's earlier announcement of military aircraft arriving soon at Pituffik Space Base for planned Arctic activities with Denmark.
