Resources: USA signs agreement with Denmark in Greenland dispute

The US can build additional military bases in Greenland under a new defense agreement with Denmark and Greenland. The agreement allows the US to construct bases in Narsarsuaq and Mestersvig, and to modernize and expand its activities at Pituffik Space Base. The US can also station its "Golden Dome" missile defense system in Greenland and fly over and land in Greenland's territory and territorial waters, provided it respects the rights and way of life of the Greenlandic society.

The agreement was signed in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly and still needs to be approved by the parliaments in Denmark and Greenland.
