US President Donald Trump signed a security deal with leaders from Greenland and Denmark on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York. According to Middle East Eye, the deal allows the US to build two military bases in southern and eastern Greenland, specifically at Narsarsuaq and Mestersvig.
The agreement was described by Trump as the start of a "long-term, fantastic relationship". The deal bolsters US military presence on the vast, icy island but keeps it under Danish control, as reported by PBS NewsHour.
Reports also mentioned Trump rejecting a "globalist scheme" to regulate AI, saying the US will change the name to "super intelligence", but this was not directly related to the security deal.
