Dinamarca y Groenlandia celebran un acuerdo con Estados Unidos lleno de incógnitas

Copenhague y Nuuk subrayan que el pacto respeta la soberanía danesa, aunque algunos expertos dudan de que zanje todas las disputas

Dinamarca y Groenlandia celebran un acuerdo con Estados Unidos lleno de incógnitas

Denmark and Greenland expressed satisfaction with the beginning of an agreement reached with the United States, despite the lack of details about the text. Following President Donald Trump's surprise announcement, who claimed on Friday that the pact grants Washington "permanent control over the security and other needs" of the Arctic territory, the Danish and Greenlandic authorities wanted to join in the optimism, albeit with a key caveat.

Both administrations consider the deal a success because it respects the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Denmark and the right to self-determination of Greenland, allowing them to move on after months of high tension with the White House, which had even considered the need to control the island for national security reasons. The lack of specifics about what was agreed upon prevents any immediate assessment of whether the dispute is resolved.
