Germany plans to enhance its military presence in the North Atlantic and Arctic due to increased Russian submarine activity. The German support ship, Berlin, will travel from Iceland to Greenland and Canada, participating in military exercises along the route. The U.S. has expressed concerns about Denmark's investment in Greenland's security, prompting Denmark to allocate $2.3 billion for collaboration with Greenland and the Faroe Islands. Germany aims to deploy aircraft, submarines, and frigates during the Canadian Arctic exercise, Nanook, evidencing its commitment in the region.
We are seeing an increasing activity of Russian submarines operating in that area. Germany will show its presence in the North Atlantic and the Arctic this year.
Trump and senior members of his administration have accused Denmark of having under-invested in Greenland's security.
The Danish government announced it would spend 14.6 billion kroner ($2.3 billion) on strengthening security in collaboration with Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
We will then, for the first time, take part in the Canadian Arctic exercise, Nanook, deploying our maritime patrol aircraft, submarines and frigates.
