Conflicts: Denmark and US announce breakthrough in Greenland dispute

The US, Denmark, and Greenland have announced a breakthrough in their dispute over the Arctic island of Greenland. An agreement is expected to be signed at the UN General Assembly next week, which will grant the US "permanent control over security and all other matters" in Greenland, according to US President Donald Trump. The deal, which will not incur any costs for the US, will also restrict enemies of the US from establishing military bases on the island without permission and limit certain investments.

The agreement recognizes Greenland's autonomy, the sovereignty of the Danish kingdom, and the right of the Greenlandic people to self-determination.
