The EurAsian Times reports on a U.S.-Canada North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) deployment of aircraft to Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, which NORAD states is for long-planned, routine activities coordinated with Denmark. This deployment, however, is taking place amidst heightened geopolitical tensions fueled by former President Donald Trump's renewed and aggressive demands for the United States to gain 'total control' of the Arctic territory. Trump, who previously expressed interest in purchasing Greenland in 2019, has escalated his rhetoric in his current (second) presidency, with reports indicating threats of military action or annexation if the territory is not acquired. Greenland, an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, and Denmark itself have consistently rejected any notion of selling the island, asserting its sovereignty. The timing of the NORAD announcement has 'raised eyebrows' due to the ongoing dispute, with several international news outlets also highlighting the optics of the routine military movements occurring against the backdrop of Trump's assertive stance on Greenland's strategic importance, particularly concerning Russian and Chinese activity in the Arctic. The situation underscores growing concerns over Arctic security and international alliances.
