Crossetto: European Troops in Greenland

Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto commented on plans to deploy European troops in Greenland. According to him, "Imagine 15 Italians, 15 French, and 15 Germans in Greenland. It sounded to me almost like the beginning of a joke. I believe, on the contrary, that it is in our interest to preserve the unity of the Western world, the free world." Crosetto emphasized the importance of collective security and the desire to maintain unity among Western countries amid changing geopolitical circumstances.
