Macron said France would join Denmark-led drills under Operation Arctic Resilience, adding that the first French units are already en route. France’s Arctic ambassador said the deployed troops are mountain warfare specialists. Germany, Norway, and Sweden have also announced troop deployments to Greenland in support of Denmark.
