US and Denmark strike Arctic security deal over Greenland

The US and Denmark have reached an Arctic security pact that Trump is framing as granting America "permanent control" over security in Greenland — though Danish and Greenlandic officials insist the deal preserves their sovereignty and right to self-determination. The agreement, pending ratification by both parliaments, will expand US military presence on the island Trump had threatened to seize by force. The deal is expected to be formally signed next week.
