Poland rules out sending troops to Greenland, prime minister says
Poland will not deploy troops to Greenland, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Thursday, while stressing that any attack on NATO territory would have devastating consequences for global security.
Speaking at a press conference in Warsaw, Tusk underlined Poland’s commitment to the NATO alliance, warning that aggression against any member state would represent a catastrophic escalation. His remarks come amid growing international attention on Greenland, a self-governing territory within the Kingdom of Denmark.
Greenland has gained strategic importance due to its Arctic location, rich mineral potential, and increased military and geopolitical interest linked to Russia and China. The United States has repeatedly highlighted the island’s role in Arctic security, with President Donald Trump renewing calls for stronger American involvement there.
Denmark and Greenland have firmly rejected any suggestion of transferring sovereignty, reaffirming that the territory remains under Danish authority. At the same time, several European countries, including Denmark, Sweden, and Germany, have stepped up military exercises and surveillance missions in the region.
Despite diverging views among allies on the future of Greenland, Poland has made clear that it does not intend to participate militarily on the island, while continuing to emphasize collective defense under NATO.
