Germanywill send an exploratory team to the island on Friday, along with other NATO members, to assess the chances of ensuring security in the face of alleged Russian and Chinese threats in the Arctic.
France's President Emmanuel Macron has stated that "in the next few days" his country will send "ground, air and sea resources" to Greenland, which will be added to the military that have arrived today to participate in the European mission.
Estoniahas stated that it is "cooperating" in the planning of the military exercises announced by Denmark and has ensured that it is prepared to send troops "if requested".

For her part, the Spanish Defence Minister, Margarita Robles, has not ruled out Spain's involvement in the European military mission, but has called for "no anticipation of events".
