  "account": "The United States intends to establish two new military bases in Greenland, according to reports. The first site is Narsarsuaq, a former Cold War-era military base that has seen its population dwindle to a few dozen people since its closure in the 1950s. The second location is Mestersvig, currently operated by the Sirius Dog Sled Patrol, a Danish special forces unit. Representatives from the United States, Denmark, and Greenland are expected to sign the agreement at the United Nations General Assembly in New York City on Tuesday at 10:30am ET (14:30 GMT). The specifics of the agreement have not been disclosed, as the text is still being finalized prior to the signing. Denmark and Greenland have not yet commented on the matter, nor has the White House provided a response to inquiries regarding the agreement.",
  "summary": "COPENHAGEN/WASHINGTON: The US plans to reopen a former Cold War-era military base in southern Greenland and set up a military presence at an east coast base now used by the Danish dog sled patrol under an agreement to be signed by the US, Denmark and Greenland on Tuesday, according to three people familiar with the matter.",
