US Approves Arms Sale to Denmark Amid Greenland Tensions

The US government has approved the sale of military aircraft worth $1.8 billion to Denmark, despite escalating tensions with Denmark over Greenland. The sale includes three P-8 Poseidon aircraft and aims to enhance the security of a NATO ally. This move follows the approval of a $1 billion missile sale to Denmark, despite the US President's statements about potentially acquiring Greenland. Greenland has reacted negatively to the US statements, insisting it is not for sale and will decide its own future. The UN Security Council is expected to discuss the matter.
