The new mission, Arctic Sentry, will coordinate an increasing military presence of NATO allies in the region, including exercises such as Denmark's Arctic Endurance on Greenland, the alliance's military headquarters said in a statement. ADVERTISEMENTNATO did not quantify how many troops or specify what types of military assets would be involved in the mission. He declined to rule out taking Greenland by force and threatened to impose tariffs on Denmark and seven of its European partners. In Davos, Trump said he would not use force to take Greenland and agreed with Rutte that NATO would play a greater role in securing the broader Arctic region. Earlier, British Defence Minister John Healey said British forces will play a vital part in NATO's Arctic Sentry mission.
