Conflict over Arctic island: Denmark and US announce breakthrough in Greenland dispute
Donald Trump's threat to annex Greenland put NATO to a severe test. Now, there is supposed to be an agreement in this ongoing dispute. However, the descriptions of it sound different.
The US, Denmark, and Greenland have announced a breakthrough in a long-standing dispute over the strategic Arctic island of Greenland. An agreement is expected to be signed next week, which US President Donald Trump said would give the US "permanent control" over security and other matters in Greenland. The deal, which still needs parliamentary approval, aims to strengthen common security in the Arctic and North Atlantic, and recognizes Denmark's sovereignty and Greenland's right to self-determination.
Trump had previously threatened to annex the island, which is a Danish territory, and had suggested building a "Golden Dome" missile defense system there.
