NATO to share Greenland security responsibility - Denmark

Denmark, Greenland, and the United States are set to sign a deal on Greenland's security tomorrow, a move that will put Arctic security under NATO's watch instead of solely being handled by Washington and Copenhagen. The agreement, to be announced at the UN General Assembly in New York, has not been made public yet. While President Donald Trump claims it grants the US permanent control, Danish and Greenlandic officials maintain the deal will benefit the Arctic island and respect its sovereignty.

The White House expects Trump to meet Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen in New York for a trilateral signing ceremony. The agreement aims to secure and defend the security of Greenland and the United States, with NATO expected to take the lead in Arctic security.
