Denmark: fire during US capture attempt

Denmark's military is obligated to open fire if the United States attempts to forcibly annex Greenland, stated Jensen, a representative of the Danish Ministry of Defence. Such a statement underscores Denmark's firm stance regarding military intervention in the autonomous region. Greenland, an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark located on the North American continent, holds strategic importance as a site for American military facilities. The Ministry of Defence emphasized that any attempts to violate Greenland's sovereignty are unacceptable and will be regarded as an act of aggression requiring countermeasures.

Context

Greenland is fully controlled by Denmark but has its own autonomy in internal affairs. The issue of U.S. military infrastructure in the region remains highly sensitive.
