The US, Denmark, and Greenland announced late Friday that they had reached an agreement, which is expected to be signed at the United Nations General Assembly next week, according to Reuters.

Denmark and Greenland emphasize the agreement will respect existing sovereignty, while Trump describes it as granting the US \"complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland\" for its security and defense.

NATO welcomed the deal, stating it would help advance security, stability, and cooperation in the region.",
