Greenland parliament approves security deal with US and Denmark
Briefing by News4U · First published
Greenland’s parliament approved a trilateral security deal with Denmark and the United States to bolster Arctic and North Atlantic security, Al Jazeera reported. The vote was 16-0 on Tuesday, with seven abstentions. US President Donald Trump, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen signed it in September at the UN General Assembly amid Trump’s threats to seize the island. Al Jazeera said the deal opens the way for more US bases and expanding Pituffik Space Base activities; Greenland remains under Danish control, including if it later seeks independence, and Danish lawmakers are set to debate it later this month.
