Russian President Vladimir Putin said US plans to take control of Greenland are "serious," warning of NATO's growing Arctic presence. US President Donald Trump has pushed for control, citing "international security." Greenland, seeking independence from Denmark, already hosts a US military base. "This is not extravagant talk; these plans have historical roots," Putin stated at an Arctic forum. US Vice President JD Vance will visit Greenland on Friday. Denmark has rejected Trump's proposal, while Russia fears the Arctic could become a "springboard for conflicts." Strategic interests in the region are rising amid climate change. (PC: AFP)
