The framework the US and NATO are working on to give Washington access to pockets of land in Greenland is expected to create a significant new NATO mission in the Arctic Region, with multiple Western officials dubbing it as “Arctic Sentry”, similar to those missions in the Baltic and Eastern Europe, according to the NYT.
