NATO members are deploying small numbers of troops to Greenland for a joint military exercise, after a tense meeting with the White House about the island’s future.

French President Emmanuel Macron referred to the exercise as “Operation Arctic Endurance.”

Talks between U.S., Danish, and Greenlandic officials were “frank but constructive” but did not resolve the “fundamental disagreement” of Greenland’s future, the Danish foreign minister said.
