Denmark planned to destroy Greenland runways to stop a potential US invasion

According to reports, the Danish military secretly prepared to blow up runways in Greenland to prevent the United States from using them. The plan involved sending explosives and elite troops to the island in January.

This contingency plan was reportedly developed amid concerns that then-President Donald Trump might try to seize or purchase Greenland. The Danish government considered destroying the airfields to stop U.S. aircraft from landing if an invasion occurred.
