U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed Denmark's military presence in Greenland consists of "two dogsleds." While Denmark does have a special dogsled unit that operates in remote areas of Greenland, it is one part of a larger Arctic presence. Denmark has increased its military capabilities in the Arctic in recent months amid Trump's threat to take control of Greenland. Canada last year also announced plans to bolster its Arctic defences.
