X user @DerChrizzIX posted a claim that Germany is deploying troops to Greenland, quoting the development in a meme shared over the past 59 minutes through 12:46 PM UTC on January 15, 2026. The post referenced statements attributed to HS politicians on reinstating compulsory military service and fighting against Americans, according to the X content from the same period. Another X user, @mistergeezy, stated "We are basically fucked if Trump does this" during this window, reflecting social media concern over U.S. President Donald Trump's actions. This reported German deployment builds on prior NATO reinforcements in Greenland at Denmark's request, including 13 German military personnel noted earlier today by Reuters and Bloomberg. Danish army soldiers arrived in Greenland and deployed to Arctic Command headquarters between 9:16 AM and 9:46 AM UTC today, as stated in X posts by @ww3mediaa and @OJoelsen. French outlet Le Grand Continent reported a confidential plan by President Trump to annex Greenland within three days between 9:47 AM and 10:16 AM UTC, accessible at https://legrandcontinent.eu/fr/2026/01/15/confidentiel-plan-de-donald-trump-pour-annexer-le-groenland-trois-jours/. POLITICO reported that a January 14 meeting between the United States, Denmark, and Greenland ended without a breakthrough, with a working group tasked to continue efforts, as shared prior to this window. European officials expressed mixed views on U.S. Vice President JD Vance in Greenland talks, with one diplomat telling POLITICO "Vance hates us," while another noted his relationship with President Trump, according to reports over the prior hour through 11:45 AM UTC.
