Meloni said NATO should focus more on the Arctic region and ensure a"significant presence" of allies to preserve security and keep out hostilecountries. "I still do not believe in the hypothesis that the United States will takemilitary action to take control of Greenland, an option that I clearly wouldnot agree with," Meloni told journalists in an annual New Year's pressconference. Such an option would not "be in anyone's interest, not even in the interestof the United States of America". It was up not just to Europe but to NATO to "initiate a serious debate" onthe Arctic as a priority.
