About this video

NATO allies say tensions over Greenland have eased after the launch of the Arctic Sentry mission aimed at boosting security in the Arctic and reassuring President Donald Trump, who had raised concerns over Russian and Chinese influence in the region. The dispute had briefly strained the alliance, members are now focused on strengthening Europe’s role within NATO, but US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth was notably absent from the Brussels meeting, as FRANCE 24's Dave Keating explains.
