Denmark, at UN, says Greenland pact benefits all parties involved
The pact bolsters Arctic defense and would still apply if Greenland later becomes independent, Denmark’s U.N. ambassador said.
- The United States, Denmark, and Greenland signed a security agreement last week to bolster defense in the Arctic and North Atlantic, Denmark's U.N. Ambassador Christina Lassen told world leaders at the General Assembly on Monday.
- President Donald Trump's repeated demands to acquire the territory strained NATO relations, with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warning a takeover would end the alliance and roughly 56,000 Greenland residents wary of a resource grab.
- The United States maintains roughly 200 soldiers at the remote Pituffik Space Base, down from 17 installations after World War II, though Trump announced plans to 'immediately begin the process' of building two major military bases.
- Just before the signing, Trump remarked, 'This is tremendous for Europe and for the United States and for everybody,' easing tensions over his previous calls to 'take Greenland' to prevent Russia or China from doing the same.
- Officials negotiated for months to address security concerns, ultimately ensuring the agreement remains in force even if Greenland eventually chooses independence, positioning the territory as a key strategic partner within NATO while remaining part of Denmark.
