Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has backed the deployment of allied forces to Greenland, calling the Arctic a strategic NATO responsibility amid rising global tensions. Speaking in Tokyo, Meloni said European allies are discussing security cooperation under the Atlantic Alliance, even as the US continues to assert strong claims over Greenland’s strategic importance. She downplayed the possibility of US ground intervention, stressing that the issue would be resolved politically. Meloni also addressed unrest in Iran, condemning repression while supporting peaceful protests and urging de-escalation through dialogue and renewed negotiations on the nuclear issue.
