Nordic country dispatches ‘substantial contribution’ of troops to the Arctic territory amid standoff with Washington.

Denmark has sent additional troops to Greenland amid United States President Donald Trump’s threats to take control of the self-governing Danish territory.

The chief of the Royal Danish Army, Peter Boysen, and a “substantial contribution” of soldiers landed in Kangerlussuaq in western Greenland on Monday evening, public broadcaster DR and other Danish media reported.

Public broadcaster TV2 reported that 58 Danish troops landed in the Arctic territory, joining about 60 others dispatched earlier to participate in ongoing multinational military exercises, dubbed Operation Arctic Endurance.

Denmark’s Ministry of Defence and the Danish Armed Forces did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The deployment came hours after Trump declined to rule out using military force to take control of the vast, mineral-rich Arctic territory, which the US president claims is vital to Washington’s security.

In an interview with NBC News on Monday, Trump replied, “no comment”, in response to a question about whether he could seize the island by force.

Trump’s remarks came after he told Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Storer in a text message over the weekend that he no longer felt obliged to “think purely of Peace” after not being awarded this year’s Nobel Peace Prize.

Denmark has expressed openness to a beefed-up US military presence in Greenland, but has repeatedly said the territory is not for sale and that any move to take the island by force would spell the end of NATO.

Trump’s insistence that Greenland must be brought under US control has brought US-European relations to their lowest ebb in decades and raised fears about the potential disintegration of NATO, the transatlantic security alliance whose 32 members include both the US and Denmark.

Under Article 5 of NATO’s charter, the alliance considers an armed attack against any one member as an attack against all.

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte on Monday met with Danish Minister of Defence Troels Lund Poulsen and Greenland’s minister of foreign affairs, Vivian Motzfeldt, to discuss proposals for boosting Arctic security, including the establishment of a joint NATO mission in the Danish territory.

Rutte said in a statement that the sides had discussed the importance of the Arctic to “our collective security” and Copenhagen’s growing investments in its defence capabilities.

“We’ll continue to work together as Allies on these important issues,” Rutte said.

Poulsen stressed the need for unity following the talks.

“Thank you to our allies for standing up for Greenland and Denmark,” he said.

EU’s ‘trade bazooka’

At the same time that Trump’s moves are placing security ties under strain, his threat to impose tariffs on Denmark and seven other European countries until a deal is reached to buy Greenland has raised the prospect of a full-blown transatlantic trade war.

The European Union is set to convene an emergency meeting on Thursday to discuss its response to the crisis, with retaliatory tariffs and the activation of the bloc’s anti-coercion mechanism among the options under consideration.

Triggering the Anti-Coercion Instrument, also known as the “trade bazooka”, would allow the bloc to impose sweeping restrictions on the investment and business activities of US tech firms within the single market.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Monday that she had stressed the “need to unequivocally respect the sovereignty” of Denmark and Greenland in a meeting with US diplomats on the sidelines of the Davos summit in Switzerland.

“This is of utmost importance to our transatlantic relationship,” von der Leyen said. “At the same time, the European Union remains ready to continue working closely with the United States, NATO, and other allies, in close cooperation with Denmark, to advance our shared security interests.”

An opinion poll, commissioned by Danish paper Berlingske last year, suggested that 85 percent of Greenland’s residents did not wish to join the US, with just 6 percent in favour.

HOLLY Ramsay appears to have taken yet another very public swipe at her new husband Adam Peaty’s estranged family.

The daughter of Gordon Ramsay has excluded her in-laws once again following her wedding in a new article for Vogue magazine.

The fashion publication has shared a slew of snaps from the big day at Bath Abbey including the first-look at the FIVE wedding dresses she opted to wear.

Holly took control of the piece, writing her own picture captions and seemingly shading Adam’s family in the process amid their ongoing family feud.

Adam famously disinvited his mother to the big day after severing ties with many members of the Peaty clan amid a tough few months.

Now, Holly has seemingly excluded them once again with a cutting dig.

Holly Ramsay defends dad’s savage wedding speech & swipe at Adam’s family feud

GIFT SPLURGE

Holly Ramsay & Adam Peaty spend HUGE sum on gifts for 200 wedding guests

Captioning a family snap in her Vogue article showcasing the wedding party, Holly penned: “Our people.”

It appeared to hint that as Adam’s family were not part of the wedding party that they were not a part of the newlyweds’ ‘people’.

The image showed Gordon and her mum Tana, alongside sisters Tilly and Megan, who both wore matching red Victoria Beckham gowns.

Adam’s sister, Bethany, the only member of his family to attend, also wore the same red gown and was included in the snap.

The swimmer’s groomsmen as well as Holly’s younger brothers completed the snap.

Adam’s brother, mother, father as well as his aunts and uncles were all missing after being scrubbed from the ceremony.

Furthermore, Holly captioned a photograph of her alongside mum Tana and family friend, Victoria Beckham, with: “Mama, Victoria and me. Two of my favourite women.”

The caption is likely to sting for Adam’s mum Caroline who was blocked from attending the nuptials as well as not being invited to Holly’s hen-do alongside Tana and Victoria.

Holly married Adam wearing a custom-made Elie Saab dress.

The long-flowing gown featured a lace-pattern throughout with Holly confessing she was able to make her own changes to the dress after first trying it on in London.

The gown, which she wore to walk down the aisle before changing into many others throughout the day, also featured see-through sleeves.

Speaking of the dress, Holly told Vogue:  “I knew I wanted to wear something very traditional and quite modest, with lace.

“I’ve always loved Grace Kelly and Kate Middleton’s gowns: that beautiful high neckline, super feminine.”

Holly added she was “obsessed” with her gown, admitting: “It makes me feel very princess-like.”

She went onto change into another Elie Saab number for the reception at Kin House – a shorter gown that she described as “fun”.

The number featured rhinestones and exposed Holly’s long legs as she opted to dance the night away in the mini-dress.

Prior to that, she also donned another dress – this time her mother’s 1996 gown that she wore for her big day to Gordon.

Holly wanted to wear the dress to honour her mum, revealing: “I’ve always loved the idea of bringing in mum’s dress at some point.

“It’s beautiful: silk with a V-neckline and pearls all the way around.

“I tried it on and it fit me perfectly – it didn’t need any altering.”

As part of the wedding weekend, Holly also opted for a custom Victoria Beckham slip dress for the action the night before the ceremony.

Adam recently appeared to show no signs of offering up an olive branch after he thanked Jesus for everything that had happened in the year – despite the fractious feud.

The sport star appeared grateful for how things had panned out this year – even if it meant falling out with his family.

He shared a quote, which read: “It’s the last day of 2025. Thank you Jesus for everything this year.”

Elsewhere, the rift was also referenced during the ceremony when Gordon appeared to take a jibe at Adam’s parents.

He delivered a fiery speech of his own, saying his wife Tana “will be a good mum to them both”.

Gordon gushed at how beautiful Holly looked and told Adam he was a “lucky man”, adding: “Look at Tana and that’s what you have to look forward to.”

And in a sly dig at Adam’s absent parents he told Holly: “Shame you don’t have the same.”

Now, the content creator spoke about a photo showing her and Adam at the ceremony and referenced the speech, saying: “Listening to dad’s speech, looking around the room and feeling overwhelmed with the love and the happiness on our guests’ faces.”

It’s been a tumultuous time for Adam and his family.

On Tuesday, The Sun revealed that Adam uninvited his great aunt and uncle from his wedding – just four days before the ceremony.

The lead up to their nuptials was fraught with drama, after Adam, 31, uninvited his mum Caroline when a feud erupted over her failing to be invited to Holly’s hen do.

It was then revealed that Adam had said his dad Mark could attend the wedding – but he would have to sit at the back of the church.

Unsurprisingly, Mark chose not to attend, as did Adam’s brothers James and Richard.

Now, The Sun can reveal that his great aunt Janet, 73, and uncle Eddie were uninvited in a very brutal way just four days before the ceremony.

A source said: “They got an automated message basically saying they were off the guest list and to respect Adam and Holly’s decision.

“It was so impersonal, and just four days before the big day.”

The brutal text came despite the fact the couple had already shelled out hundreds of pounds on accommodation, outfits and gifts.

Adam’s older sister Beth was the only family member to be invited to the big day – and along with Holly’s sisters Tilly, 24 and Megan, 27, she was one of the three bridesmaids.

Adam’s once close pal, Olympic swimmer and The Bi Life star Michael Gunning was also disinvited from the event just days before.

DAVID Beckham sent out a major olive branch to estranged son Brooklyn tonight in a series of emotional family posts.

The proud dad, 50, shared pictures of his brood, including son Brooklyn, 26, who has been absent from all family occasions this year, on Instagram and wrote: “You are my life [heart emojis]. I love you all, love daddy. On to 2026 x”

One black and white image saw wife Victoria on a sofa cradling baby daughter Harper and snuggling up to her three sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.

Even more tellingly, David posted a picture of him and Brooklyn cheek to cheek and wrote: “I love you all so much.”

Brooklyn, who lives in LA with wife Nicola Peltz and is eight hours behind his Cotswolds based dad, has yet to post ahead of the New Year.

The loving family posts from David follow hot on the heels of his 2025 highlights reel, none of which featured Brooklyn.

BECKS’ APPEAL

David Beckham sends emotional message to son Brooklyn amid family feud

Among his greatest hits were huge life milestones like turning 50 and being knighted by King Charles.

Other features included Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week show and snaps of his children Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20 and Harper, 13, on holiday enjoying quality time together.

David wrote: “I feel very lucky to have had the year I’ve had in 2025 full of moments that I will never forget from my 50th to my knighthood (still pinching myself ) and then finishing with winning the MLS as an owner.“

Despite not mentioning Brooklyn by name, David sweetly praised his “kids” and shared his love for them.

He added: “I‘m so grateful to my incredible wife, my amazing children, my friends and team I work with every single day nothing would have been possible without you all… But as Sir Alex Ferguson would say ‘On to the next‘.

“Thank you for the incredible memories I will forever remember 2025. Victoria I love you & our kids.”

Today, former Manchester United ace Becks also wished his old boss Sir Alex a happy birthday.

Meanwhile, Brooklyn and Nicola put on a united front this week as they continued their festive love-in Stateside.

In a photo, the pair were seen relaxing on a sofa in matching clothes.

Writing next to the picture, Nicola said: “We didn’t plan our outfits.”

Replying to her post, her husband wrote: “You’re my sweetie pie!”

WEDDING NO SHOW

The post came days after Brooklyn skipped childhood pal Holly Ramsay’s wedding.

The Ramsays and Beckhams are longtime friends and Brooklyn was once close pals with Holly as they grew up in LA together.

All of his family were in attendance to see Holly marry Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty on Saturday at Bath Abbey.

Victoria even designed the mother-of-the-bride’s dress.

Adam hailed the 200 guests’ support during his own “difficult time” after banning his mum Caroline from the wedding. 

FAMILY FALLOUT

The Beckham family feud has been rumbling on for most of the year, worsening since Brooklyn and Nicola snubbed his dad’s 50th birthday in May.

The couple have also shared subtle digs at his family in recent days after his brother Cruz revealed the Beckhams woke up to being blocked by the couple.

In a TikTok post after Cruz spoke out, Brooklyn played Lady Gaga’s song Telephone and wrote the lyrics: “Sorry I cannot hear you I’m kinda busy.”

Nicola also penned: “I love being home” in a selfie posted to social media, after the couple both shared photos from their Christmas with her parents.

CHRISTMAS APART

Victoria and David revealed a glimpse of their Christmas in Oxfordshire without Brooklyn.

In a touching video shared on social media, the couple – who have been together for 28 years – sang to each other as they slowed danced on Christmas Day.

And in what appeared to be a pointed message to their estranged son, Brooklyn the couple delivered the lyric: “And we’ve got nothing to be sorry for…”

They were dancing to Guilty sung by Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb.

Sharing the video, Victoria penned: “David and Victoria giving their very best Barry and Barbra on Christmas Day xxx kisses from us both xx @davidbeckham.”
