Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur said that Estonian soldiers are not going to Greenland to fight with American soldiers. They are going there for training. This shows that Denmark and European allies are capable of protecting the island from China and Russia.
Pevkur said that NATO takes all its territories seriously, including Greenland. If necessary, NATO allies will increase their presence in Greenland. This demonstrates that NATO countries protect each other.
Pevkur mentioned that Estonian soldiers will participate in the Arctic Endurance exercise. This exercise demonstrates solidarity with Northern countries. NATO countries practice cooperation and rapid response.
Pevkur stated that there is a threat towards the USA. Greenland, Northern Norway, Svalbard, and Iceland are crucial for the security of the USA and Europe. NATO wants the North Atlantic area to be secure.
Pevkur added that if the USA wishes to use Greenland for its defense, Denmark is ready to cooperate. This will also help other NATO countries, such as Canada.
Pevkur did not specify what will happen with Greenland in the future. He said that it is important to strengthen the relationships between NATO allies. NATO must demonstrate that it is united and ready to protect all its members.
Pevkur stated that if one NATO ally is attacked, everyone will respond. NATO has defense plans, and the USA supports them.
Estonia will send 5-10 soldiers to Greenland. The exact number will be determined after discussions between Estonian and Danish defense leaders. Prime Minister Kristen Michal said that Estonia will participate in the exercise if Denmark requests it.
