Germany will send its first Bundeswehr soldiers to Greenland as early as this week, Bild reports, reporting that it learned the news from several sources in Germany and Scandinavia.

A spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense responded that he could neither confirm nor deny the news.

According to Bild, a first reconnaissance patrol could be sent as early as tomorrow, Thursday. The first soldiers from Sweden are already "on their way." Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson announced: "Some officers from the Swedish Armed Forces are arriving in Greenland today. They are part of a group from several allied countries and will prepare the next steps in the Danish exercise 'Operation Arctic Endurance.'" It is at Denmark's request that "Sweden is sending military personnel," he specified.

France joined the party this evening: Paris will also participate in the military mission in Greenland coordinated by Denmark, the Army announced.

This afternoon, at the White House in Washington, a meeting was held between Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen, Greenlandic Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt, US Vice President J.D. Vance, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

On the table, obviously, are the territorial ambitions repeatedly declared by President Donald Trump.
