Germany planning ‘Arctic Sentry’ Nato mission to protect Greenland

Bismarck

Germany is planning to set up a joint Nato operation in the Arctic in an effort to dissuade Donald Trump from annexing Greenland.

The “Arctic Sentry” mission to monitor threats in the region could be modelled on Nato’s “Baltic Sentry” operation, which started last year to monitor threats and protect infrastructure in the Baltic Sea, sources told Bloomberg.

Mr Trump has threatened to forcibly take control of the mineral-rich island that is a territory of Denmark, a Nato member.
