The United States, Denmark and Greenland signed a security agreement on the Arctic island in New York on 22 September, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. The document was signed by US President Donald Trump, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen. ekonomickydenik.cz ↗
The agreement will allow the United States to expand its military presence in Greenland and build two new military bases on the island. Washington will thus gain a broader and open-ended role in the defence of the island. The agreement also reaffirms Denmark's sovereignty over Greenland. BBC News ↗
According to the agreement, the American military presence is meant to help protect Greenland and the wider Arctic region from the activities of unspecified adversaries. The document also concerns some of the island's economic interests. However, the published information does not specify their scope. El Mundo ↗
The signing of the agreement eased a long-running dispute between Washington, Copenhagen and Nuuk over Greenland's future status. Relief spread through Denmark and Greenland, although doubts remain about the scale of the planned American military presence. NOS ↗
Mette Frederiksen said that the agreement "will strengthen our ability to deter." The United States, Denmark and Greenland have thus created a new security framework for the Arctic island, while its constitutional ties to Denmark remain intact. El Pais ↗
