US-Greenland security deal to boost Nato, Europe: Danish PM
COPENHAGEN: An agreement due to be signed by Denmark and Greenland with the United States giving Washington control over the autonomous Danish territory’s security is “good for Nato and Europe,” Denmark’s prime minister said Friday.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has stated that an agreement between Denmark, Greenland, and the United States will enhance NATO and European security. The deal, which is expected to be signed at the UN General Assembly next week, grants the US permanent control over Greenland's security and prevents foreign adversaries from establishing bases there.
President Trump announced the agreement on his social media platform, asserting that the United States will now have complete authority over security matters in Greenland. This includes preventing any US adversary from setting up military installations or making sensitive investments in the territory without explicit US approval.
The head of Greenland's government, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, expressed satisfaction with the forthcoming agreement, emphasizing that it will reinforce the security of Greenland, the Kingdom of Denmark, the United States, and the Western alliance.
