The European Union’s top military official said it would “make perfect sense” to station troops from EU countries in Greenland.
“In my view, it would make perfect sense not only to station U.S. forces in Greenland, as is currently the case, but also to consider stationing EU soldiers there,” Robert Brieger, chairman of the European Union Military Committee, the bloc’s highest military body, told German newspaper Welt am Sonntag.
“That would send a strong signal and could contribute to stability in the region,” Brieger said in the interview published Saturday. “Ultimately, however, this is a political decision in which many interests must be taken into account,” he added.
