Britain is discussing with NATO allies how to enhance Arctic security against Russia and China. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said Sunday that these talks are routine and not a response to U.S.

The Trump administration has repeatedly said the U.S. should be in control of Greenland, which is part of Denmark and NATO.

NATO should launch an operation in the Arctic to address U.S. security concerns, Belgium's defence minister told Reuters on Sunday, urging transatlantic unity amid growing European unease about U.S. President Donald Trump's push to take control of Greenland.

Top Trump aide Stephen Miller says it's the "formal position" of the White House that Denmark's territory of Greenland "should be part of the U.S."

Speaking during a traditional New Year press conference, Meloni said the use of military action in Greenland would not be in anyone's interest and would have serious consequences for NATO.

Turkey is in advanced talks to join a Nato-style defence pact with Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, reported Bloomberg. Turkey, a Nato member, might align with a nuclear-armed Pakistan and a cash-rich Saudi Arabia to create what is touted as a Muslim Nato.
