Denmark, Greenland, and the United States are set to sign a deal on Greenland’s security on Tuesday, according to a report by Business Recorder. The agreement, to be signed at the UN General Assembly in New York, has not been made public, but President Donald Trump has claimed it grants the US "permanent control." Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen stated that the deal will put Arctic security under NATO’s watch rather than leaving it solely to Washington and Copenhagen.
The White House official confirmed that Trump will meet with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen in New York to formalize the agreement, which is expected to benefit Greenland and respect its sovereignty. The deal comes after months of pressure from Trump to control Greenland, which triggered a diplomatic crisis within NATO and prompted negotiations between the three parties to defuse tensions.
