LONDON, Jan 21 (Reuters) - Britain and Denmark will hold defence talks on Wednesday focusing on security in the Arctic region, the British government said, at a time when U.S. President Donald Trump's designs on Greenland threaten to upend historic alliances.
Here are some details:
• British defence minister John Healey will be in Copenhagen on Wednesday, his ministry said
• He will discuss how European nations can step up security in the "high north", a term used to refer to the European Arctic which includes the island of Greenland, a self-governing territory of Denmark
• The UK and Denmark want to protect critical national infrastructure in the Baltic and high north
• They will discuss a planned exercise later this year by the Joint Expeditionary Force, a UK-led northern European rapid response military partnership
• Support for Ukraine against Russia's invasion, as well as counter-drone cooperation, will also be on the agenda
