"Good For NATO, Europe": Denmark PM Endorses Trump's Greenland Security Deal
Mette Frederiksen said the deal "strengthens our common security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic area," adding that it was expected to be signed on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly next week.
Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has endorsed a security deal with the US regarding Greenland. The deal aims to strengthen common security in the Arctic and North Atlantic area. According to Frederiksen, it is expected to be signed on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly next week.
The agreement will allow the US to develop a significant military presence on Greenland while preventing US adversaries, such as Russia and China, from building their own bases on the island. The US already has nearly total overflight and basing rights in Greenland due to a 1951 treaty.
The deal has no expiry date and will give the US the ability to veto sensitive investments on the island by US enemies. This, according to US President Donald Trump, will guarantee that the US can secure and defend the security of both Greenland and the US.
