Greenland, Denmark say deal with U.S. will not cede sovereignty

The U.S., Denmark and Greenland said late on Friday they had entered into an agreement for the U.S. to ‌develop a significant military presence on Greenland, while prohibiting American adversaries from building their own bases on the island.

Key details of the agreement have not been made public, including the degree of U.S. military presence in the self-governed ⁠Danish territory and whether any formal power over foreign policy and resources would be ceded to Washington.

Denmark and Greenland expressed hope that a deal, which is expected to be signed during the United Nations General Assembly next week, would end months of uncertainty triggered by Trump's threats to seize control of Greenland. P arliamentary action is still needed by the governments of Denmark and Greenland before it can be enforced.
