In a joint statement issued by the Danish Prime Minister’s Office and the Government of Greenland, it was stated that Denmark, Greenland, and the United States are expected to sign an agreement next week at the United Nations (UN) General Assembly aimed at enhancing security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic region. It was noted that the agreement will enter into force once the national parliamentary ratification processes are completed following the signing.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, whose comments were included in the statement, said, “I am pleased that we are on the verge of concluding a great agreement for Greenland, the Kingdom of Denmark, and the United States. This agreement, which strengthens our common security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic region, is also great for NATO and Europe. At the same time, it is an agreement that recognizes the Kingdom’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the Greenlandic people’s right to self-determination.”

“It is gratifying that we are on the verge of concluding an agreement that will ensure and strengthen the security of Greenland, the Kingdom of Denmark, the United States, and the Western Alliance. The agreement recognizes Greenland’s interests and our place in international cooperation. This is in all of our best interests.”

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on his social media account that an agreement had been reached with Denmark and Greenland. Noting that the agreement fully addresses all U.S. concerns and that his country has gained permanent control over security and all other needs in Greenland, Trump stated that, under the agreement, no U.S. rival would be able to establish a military base or maintain a military presence in Greenland.
