The US has approved a $1.8 billion sale of P-8A patrol aircraft to Denmark, despite tensions over Greenland. The State Department stated that the sale supports US foreign policy and national security by enhancing the security of a NATO ally. This follows a separate approval for nearly $1 billion in air-to-air missiles to Denmark. The approval comes amid controversy over President Trump's comments about Greenland, which he suggested could be seized for security reasons, prompting diplomatic tensions with Denmark.
