Diplomatic tensions over Greenland and security in the Arctic have been the focus of senior American and European officials.

Democratic US Senator Chris Coons stated that there are no immediate security threats to Greenland, but stressed the strategic importance of the Arctic in the future.

"There are no immediate security threats to Greenland, but we share real concerns about future security in the Arctic. With climate change, melting ice and shifting sea routes, there are legitimate reasons to invest more in Arctic security, both in the US area and with our NATO allies," said Senator Chris Coons from the Democratic Party during a press conference with the US delegation, consisting of senators and members of the House of Representatives, in Copenhagen.

Coons praised Denmark as a historic and reliable ally of the US, underlining that the relationship between the two countries is based on shared values.

"As a NATO ally, Denmark has been an exceptional partner for us in the field of security. This relationship is built on shared values: democracy, self-determination and respect for territorial integrity."

He stressed that Washington aims to reduce tensions and strengthen the historic partnership with the Kingdom of Denmark, while respecting its sovereignty and the NATO alliance.

On the other hand, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated that the issue of strengthening security in Greenland should be discussed within the NATO framework and not unilaterally.

"I think that strengthening security and the presence of allies in Greenland is a serious issue, but one that should be addressed through dialogue within the Atlantic Alliance. Greenland should be considered territory under NATO responsibility."

Meloni ruled out the possibility of a military intervention, emphasizing that the solution to the situation must be political and through cooperation between allies.

"I consider a ground military intervention for Greenland very difficult. The issue is political and will be resolved politically, including through a greater commitment of all allies in an area that is strategic for all."

The statements come at a time when US President Donald Trump has reiterated that Greenland is vital to US security, due to its strategic position and natural resources, not ruling out the use of force.

The idea has been rejected by the authorities in Greenland and Denmark, while several European countries have sent troops to the island in a sign of solidarity with Copenhagen.
