United States President Donald Trump, Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen, and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen signed an agreement on Tuesday that permits a larger US military presence on Greenland. The deal, signed during Trump's visit to the UN General Assembly in New York, does not address Trump's demand for the US to adopt Greenland as a US territory.
Instead, it allows for the establishment of a "Golden Dome" defense system in Greenland to shield against ballistic missile threats. The agreement also grants the US broad access to aircraft and vessels in Greenland's territorial waters and restricts foreign investment in sensitive sectors. The deal aims to resolve a standoff over the strategically located and mineral-rich island, which is the northernmost US military base.
