1:25Now PlayingEuropean troops began arriving in Greenland after talks in Washington failed to make progress on President Trump's push to take over the territory. Danish Air Force troops landed late Wednesday night, and NATO partners, including France, Germany and others, are sending small numbers of forces as well.
This comes after the Danish foreign minister set a fundamental disagreement over Greenland remains after meeting with American officials at the White House. Greenland residents say they are relieved to have the support from allies, but worry about what comes next.
The White House said Thursday that the presence of new European troops in Greenland would not affect President Trump's position on taking over the territory.
