NATO Backs Greenland Deal

NATO backed a new U.S.-Denmark-Greenland agreement that would expand the U.S. military presence in Greenland while leaving the island under Danish sovereignty. The deal is meant to give Washington long-term control over security matters and block Chinese or Russian bases and sensitive investments. President Trump had earlier threatened to buy or seize Greenland, making the pact a retreat from ownership demands. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said it respects sovereignty and self-determination. The agreement could allow a larger U.S. footprint, including possible additional bases. It is expected to be signed next week, then faces Danish and Greenlandic approval.
