美国总统唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)嘲笑丹麦试图通过增加巡逻（包括两支新增的狗拉雪橇队）来保卫格陵兰，坚称美国将接管这个具有战略重要性的北极岛屿。
Denmark’s defence minister has conceded that the Nordic country has not done enough to protect its autonomous territory of Greenland, but revealed plans to spend $1.5bn on two new inspection ships, two drones and two dog sled patrols after Trump renewed his interest in the island.
在特朗普再次对格陵兰表示兴趣后，丹麦国防部长承认丹麦在保护其自治领地格陵兰方面做得不够，但透露计划斥资15亿美元配备两艘新的检查船、两架无人机和两支狗拉雪橇巡逻队。
Denmark’s military presence on Greenland is currently limited to an Arctic Command of just 75 people and equipment consisting of four ships, a surveillance plane and several dog sled patrols.
丹麦本身目前在格陵兰的军事存在仅限于一个北极司令部，该司令部只有75名人员，装备包括四艘船、一架侦察机和几支狗拉雪橇巡逻队。
