The United States plans to reactivate a Cold War-era military base in Greenland and build another facility on the island's east coast. Both bases are to be part of an upcoming agreement between the US, Denmark and Greenland on security in the Arctic. n-tv ↗
The reactivated base is to be located in southern Greenland. The second planned facility would be built on the east coast, which is currently used by a Danish sledge dog patrol. Details of the agreement are not yet fully known and its form is still being negotiated. aktuality.sk ↗
Denmark has stated that the agreement is meant to place Arctic security under the oversight of the North Atlantic Alliance. The United States, however, describes its significance more broadly. President Donald Trump claims that the agreement will give Washington permanent control over Greenland. Der Standard ↗
The US, Denmark and Greenland recently announced a breakthrough in negotiations over the future of the strategically important Arctic island. They plan to sign the agreement on Tuesday. However, its exact provisions, the scope of the American military presence, and the division of powers between the individual parties remain subject to negotiation. Tagesspiegel ↗
Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark, and its location between North America, Europe and the Arctic increases its strategic importance. The development of the agreement could therefore affect the security arrangement across the entire Arctic region.
