NATO on Tuesday said “planning is underway” for an Arctic mission, coming weeks after US President Donald Trump frayed the strategic alliance by claiming the US needs to control Greenland to avert unverified security concerns from Russia and China.
Martin O’Donnell, a spokesman for NATO’s Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe, told reporters that a “NATO enhanced vigilance activity” will “further strengthen NATO’s posture in the Arctic and High North.” He did not provide further details as planning has just begun.
