Greenland: Denmark and USA announce breakthrough in Greenland dispute
President Trump caused significant tensions within NATO with his claims to Greenland. Now there is to be an agreement that is to be signed next week.
The USA, Denmark, and Greenland have announced a breakthrough in their dispute over the Arctic island of Greenland. A deal is expected to be signed at the UN General Assembly next week, which will grant the US "permanent control over security and all other concerns" in Greenland, according to US President Donald Trump. The agreement, which will require parliamentary approval, recognizes Greenland's self-determination and the sovereignty of the Danish kingdom, and is intended to strengthen security in the Arctic and North Atlantic.
The deal will allow the US to defend the island and restrict enemy military bases and certain investments, without incurring any costs for the US.
