Danes launch jets over Greenland after Trump hints he may pull out of Nato

Danish F-35 fighter jets and a French MRTT tanker conducted air-to-air refuelling training over southeast Greenland, video from Danish Defence shows. The mission, part of stepped-up Arctic operations with European allies, focused on long-distance flying and operating safely in harsh polar conditions, according to the Danish Armed Force. Donald Trump has said Greenland is vital to US security because of its strategic location and large supply of minerals and has not ruled out the use of force to take it. European nations this week sent small numbers of military personnel to the island at Denmark's request. A bipartisan delegation of US lawmakers met the leaders of Denmark and Greenland in Copenhagen on Friday, seeking to 'lower the temperature' with assurances of congressional support after Trump's threats to seize the Arctic island.
