Danish military forces must open fire in the event of an attack by U.S. troops on Greenland. This was stated by Tobias Roed Jensen, a representative of the Danish Ministry of Defense, as reported by The Intercept.
"Danish military units are obligated to defend the territory of Denmark, including taking immediate defensive measures if necessary, if it is subjected to armed attack," emphasized a representative of the Ministry of Defense. According to Jensen, a royal decree from 1952 allows the military to defend the country in the event of an attack without waiting for instructions from political and military leadership. Earlier, Denmark's Minister of Defense Troels Lund Poulsen stated that military presence in Greenland will be increased.
