Denmark to provide four F-35 fighter jets to NATO’s Arctic Sentry

COPENHAGEN: Denmark will provide four F-35 fighter jets to NATO’s Arctic Sentry mission, Danish Defense Minister Troels ‌Lund Poulsen ‌said on ‌Friday.
NATO ⁠said on Wednesday it ⁠had launched the mission to strengthen its presence in the Arctic, part of an effort to defuse tensions ⁠within the alliance ‌prompted ‌by the US president’s push to ‌acquire Greenland from ‌Denmark.
“Our F-35 contribution strengthens the overall presence in the region and underscores Denmark’s role ‌as an active ally in the Arctic and ⁠North ⁠Atlantic,” Poulsen said in a statement.
Poulsen also expects the United States to contribute to the NATO mission, he told reporters ahead of the Munich Security Conference in the German city.
