Denmark hails ‘binding’ Greenland deal with Trump
The deal gives Washington 'permanent control' over Greenland’s security and bars Russia and China from establishing military bases in the Arctic territory.
Denmark has welcomed a binding deal between the United States and Greenland, which grants Washington permanent control over the Arctic territory's security. US President Donald Trump announced the agreement on social media, stating that no adversary can establish a base, military presence or make sensitive investments in Greenland without American approval.
The deal, which both Denmark and Greenland have endorsed, will be signed during the UN General Assembly in New York next week. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen expressed optimism that the agreement could alleviate long-standing uncertainty and bolster Arctic and North Atlantic security. The Prime Minister of Denmark, Mette Frederiksen, emphasized that the deal respects Denmark's red lines and acknowledges Greenland's right to self-determination.
The agreement is expected to strengthen the security of the Kingdom and the 57,000 inhabitants of Greenland.
