Denmark’s government has proposed buying two new Arctic inspection ships and increasing dog sled patrols to bolster its military presence in Greenland, as US President-elect Donald Trump eyes the island, local media reported. .

The government has also proposed upgrading the airport at Kangerlussuaq, a former US military base in western Greenland, to accommodate F-35 fighter jets, broadcasters DR and TV2 said on Friday.

Denmark has already set aside $400 million to strengthen surveillance and intelligence in the Arctic and North Atlantic with long-range drones.
