Denmark plotted Greenland contingency to deter a US invasion

Denmark reportedly prepared contingency measures in Greenland in January amid U.S. threats to seize the Arctic island, including explosives to destroy Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq runways and blood supplies for troops; the plan, backed by France and Germany, was intended to raise the costs of any takeover. The crisis was defused through NATO mediation by Mark Rutte, and Denmark says talks with the United States are ongoing on a sovereignty-respecting compromise.
