Maybe our Space Force is helping Denmark upgrade those sleds. You know, to make them more like this one.

A detachment of the 23rd Space Operations Squadron also works out of Pituffik. Detachment 1 (Det-1), also called the Pituffik Tracking Station, tracks and commands high-priority government satellites from its location, which is about 3.5 miles (5.6 km) southeast of the main base.
I’ve seen this movie.
It doesn’t end well.......
The USA has been in Greenland since the 60’s.
There was a DEW station there powered by a small nuclear reactor.
This nothing new or sinister.
It’s former name was Thule Air Station. It’s been around since the 1960s.
I knew of it since my first assignment at NORAD Cheyenne Mountain. We had a direct comm line to their radar data.
The only thing I didn’t know at first was how to pronounce it.
I thought it was “Thool”. Everyone laughed at me and told me it was pronounced “Tuu—ly”. Oh well, didn’t make sense to me, but there ya go.
It was given a new name when it was transferred to the new Space Force under President Trump.

Similar to this one:

Known locally as the New Boston, NH tracking station. Originally a bombing practice range that opened in 1942.
Now, they track ICBMs coming over the North Pole.
Denmark's lack or INABILITY to defend Greenland is likely what is driving Trump's interest.
What is the US Space Force doing in Greenland?
><
They are probably trying to stay warm.
Without even reading the article, Greenland would be needed to extend our “early warning” network to offset increased speed of hypersonic missiles coming over the poles.
There is a long history here:

I'm not saying it's Martians, but it's Martians.
Yeah, exactly, like that one!!
Some TV preview ad showed the sled dogs somewhere wearing booties and dog coats. I think that’s good.
We’ve had a base there for a long time.
Well, if you go to London don't try to pronounce the River Thames.
You mean the Thay mees?
Didn’t we used to have the DEW line up there? I know there was a bunch of Navy stuff up there because it’s a choke point
